Rejected petition End Transmission Of Cruel Acts Towards Live Animals For Entertainment Purposes

We believe that inflicting harm to animals of any kind, such as eating them live or dropping them from height, for entertainment purposes is perverse and should not be encouraged. We demand that shows such as 'I'm a Celebrity' should not be allowed to broadcast such actions on UK TV.

More details

Examples of Animal Cruelty broadcast on I'm A Celebrity.
-Eating live animals such as spiders, worms, leeches
-Dropping animals from dangerous heights causing injury and death.
-Placing them in tanks with people, causing distress upon the animal
-Introducing them to uninhabitable climates, therefore the animal becoming unwell due to an unnatural environment.
