Am i the only person who thinks that the way in which animals are used in a 'popular' game show ( based in an Australian Jungle ) is appalling?

Your thoughts please.

I agree. But is it usually so 'in your face?'

yes that p***ed me off the other day, with the beautiful diamond carpet pythons being used in a trial, where they were put in a tiny box, and that incredibly irritaing women had to put her head in it and she nearly cried.

you know the woman who thinks she is really attractive, but just looks like the back end of a dog, i would much raher look at the snakes.

I've always wondered how they can use animals like that on British tv, its just not right..............

When i say 'in your face' i mean it is being broadcast to thousands if not millions of people and yet we ( viewers ) seem to accept it!!!

I am sure if someone was eating a live cat or dog the good old, animal loving, British public would have something to say about it.

Killing animals for food, in my eyes, is acceptable. Killing animals in the name of 'entertainment' is not right at all and should be stopped.

i agree. eating those poor insects too is disgusting, and as you say if it were a live cat or dog all hell would break loose.

Totally agree Fraser. For that reason I don't watch the show.
