I don’t watch it myself but some of my family do and I am pretty disgusted with the number of creatures being killed in the name of a bit of light entertainment – no one seems to bat an eyelid, is it just me?

Well, animals are killed for our entertainment so that the vast numbers of tv chefs can keep us entertained.

It's more a question of how they are killed really.

I don't disagree but in this case it's not even like it's for food - it's just simply to gross people out for entertainment value alone.

Do they kill animals in the show? Is anything alive and then killed in screen?
I thought everything was dead.

Do you eat meat?

If yes I don't see your argument as many of the animals are probably killed similar to pigs, cows, chicken etc or are insects of which children kill mindlessly each day or are killed by insecasides

If you don't eat meat - well other people do so it happens anyway

I watch it & personally see no problems with it at all

Any one who watches that deserves to to be made to watch small creatures killed and mangled in front of their eyes. They should alsp be made to eat worms along with the contestants, who at least have the excuse they are paid for it.

I watch it too, don't see it as being an issue and love the show! As for moby's suggestion, I do in fact occationally eat meal worms and crickets, I've been known to eat fish eyes, but most things they have on the show are either rare or impossible to come by in Britain. And by the same logic, maybe anyone who watches the X factor auditions (I haven't actually seen a single episode since 2003!) should be made to stand on a stage in front of 100's of people and be made to sing, even if they're tone deaf!

Yes I heard a challenge the other night was to eat live beetles, and I've seen the odd snippet with contestants crawling over all manor of beasts etc.

Not referring to your post but I kind of guessed this might throw up the old argument that if you eat meat then you can't complain about this kind of thing, oh well

Brilliant, local council says I can't walk my dog on the beach even if I pick up her shit, what next? Police pull me over for running into flys on the bike let alone the car ..... fuck me I'll be a mass murderer!

Birds, rabbits, hares, foxes, badger's and even a sheep, the car puts me into a hole new category, OUCH. All alive when I hit em, GODDAM I'm going to hell!! [At best life for animal slaughter]

Complicit in murder of cows, sheep, chicken, turkey etc and guess what snake, turtle and dog. due to extended time in the far east!

Great post

I don't agree with you at all. Get me out of the jungle is not entertainment.

Depends on you definition of animal suffering. If eating a live bug is covered in that then yes. Otherwise I imagine that animals such as the kangaroo for the deep fried kangaroo knob eating challenge were killed in the same humane way that you would kill a rabbit for making rabbit stew. (I have a good recipe for that)

That made me laugh, but I admit I understood very little what you said

Its OK Bruno, we know who you are
