is it a step too far, they killed a rat now ITV have been fined!

[Bobbisox]

ITV have been fined by the Australian NSPCA for allowing a rat to be killed in the jungle, apparently when they played to tape back, it was heard screaming,,,euyukkk too much information there
Do you think they were right to sue ?

Absolutely ridicuolus! What's next?
"How Clean Is Your House" getting sued becuase they killed a spider?
They killed a rat, not someone's pet

[Bobbisox]

my sentiments exactly av,
Bobbi ♥

oh Bobbie, sorry I didnt ring u last nite, we were having a domestic in our language a bloody good row..........missed chattin to u too, hope u r ok.

yes I think they were right, u have to nip it in the bud stuff like that. xxxx

[Prescott]

Sounds typical of the Wee Bambi brigade !!!

[DEN53]

What I can't understand is - the cameras are watching every move the campers make - so they knew he was going to do it - so why didn't they step in and stop him.
Those rats are not wild sewer rats, they are tame and are bred especially for that programme.

[pericat]

I think that the Australian SPCA are probably looking for a big 'donation'. The row was that it wasnt a wild rat it was one put in for the show - the whole thing is ridiculous

[Bobbisox]

you can't whack a good domestic jan..lol
I didn't like them eating a rat let alone having to kill it, but not sure what I would do had I been starving and had an acomplished chef with me to make it taste exotic..:-)

[afcjan]

Hi Den, how r u feeling today. Heard u hadnt been too well, hope u r much better now xxxx

That's the same with "How Clean Is Your House" then vibra. They clear spider's webs out. Should that be banned?

[joggerjayne]

Seems a bit harsh on the rat !

[B00]

apparently it was a tame rat!

It was released into the camp to...well I dunno why really. Quite how the contestants on IAC were supposed to know this is beyond me. But yes, using animals, tame or pets or otherwise for entertainment purposes shouldn't be happening in this day and age, and I agree with ITV being fined.

I don't think Gino should face any flak though.

[redman41]

Maybe it was the Contestants squealing Bobbi, and not the rat.
It's one Rat less in Australia so many Aussies are glad of that. Mind you, Roland the Rat Vindaloo does not appeal to me even if I was starving ! lol

The spider that lives in it is alive. I usually stop at vermin and pests.

[Bobbisox]

so if it was a tame rat?
I suppose it was like letting a little puppy run round in there, I don't agree at all with that side of things, I took it it was a wild one !

[DEN53]

Morning Jan - still a bit under the weather, thanks for asking - how you keeping ?
I love a good domestic, especially when the dinner gets thrown up the wall. Can't beat it.....( ;0 D

[Bobbisox]

LOLat Jan, good job I didn't ring then :-D

[craft1948]

Den I once threw the dinner at the first husband and stormed out.....when I came back I had to laugh 'cos about 3 of the new potatoes had stuck on the venetian blind lats..............
