ffs i hate those shows, if they had a load of fluffy yellow baby chicks on the table and said "ok you gotta eat these live!" there'd be an outcry AN OUTCRY I TELLS YE!! but just because its a bug people dont care, i've seen these kind of shows where they treat all the so called "icky" animals so badly, throwing them around, not handling them properly i.e in ways that would seriously hurt the animal, im amazed they get away with it including: frogs, rats, snakes and ofc bugs. i mean ffs where is the animal protection here? just because most people dont like them doesnt mean its ok to bite their heads off and shit, i dont like most people but im sure theyre'd be a few raised eyebrows if i went about eating them.

I see your point but let me ask you a question: do you eat meat? Or did you ever eat in one of those restaurants where you can pick the fish from the pool and they´ll cook it for you? Some restaurants even serve insects. We´re killing spiders and flies and bugs when they´re bothering us in our living room. And we don´t have any problems with poisoning rats when there are too many of them.
Or what about cosmetic articles, lipsticks, creams and the like? You know how many animals have to die before one of those new products make it to the stores? You just don´t see them, but that doesn´t make it any better.

There are worse things happening every day and tbh, I prefer someone biting a spiders head off on TV over living in the illusion that everything´s fine as long as it´s happening behind a curtain. :)

I remember seeing that episode on TV! For each spider they ate, they won 2 bricks for the roulette, that they could place on a number and win an awesome car! I would've eaten them all!

Or did you ever eat in one of those restaurants where you can pick the fish from the pool and they´ll cook it for you? Some restaurants even serve insects. and when i used to go fishing i'd tie the bait to my line and just let the fish eat it, never caught or actually tried to catch anything.

We´re killing spiders and flies and bugs when they´re bothering us in our living room. And we don´t have any problems with poisoning rats when there are too many of them.

ok yes i eat meat (actually i have to when i was a vegitarian i went so horribly aneamic bad things started to happen) but i make sure its dead before i eat it, never picked my own fish from a restaurant or eaten a bug (well one time a fly flew in to my ice cream and i didnt see it until twas too late).

I dont kill bugs when they come in to my house if its a spider/slug/snail etc i'll pick it up and put it in the garden, if its a fly ill trap it in one room and wave it out the window. I dont trap/poison rats infact at my work they lay mouse/rat traps and i either demolish or disable them, when i go outside i always look where im going and if i do tread on a bug it always upsets me, if its raining and im out ill pick up snails and set them on a hedge or somewhere they wont get squished.

As for cosmetics/creams etc i dont really use them but any i do use is definately not tested on animals (i make sure of it) and i always buy dolphin friendly fish and free range eggs and environmentally friendly washing powder/liquid.

so as you can see im not some happy clappy hypocrite i do actually practice what i preach and i dont see why its any different the way you treat a cute fluffy creature to one that has an exoskelliton and a shit load of legs.

I never said nor insinuated that you´re a hyppocrite, sorry if my post sounded like that.
My point was, that people are actively and passively killing so many animals that one spider in a TV show doesn´t really make a difference. At least that´s true for me, because I must admit that I don´t have any problems with smashing a wasp in my living room and I also don´t have the time to care about whether the eggs on my breakfast table are coming from happy chicken. It´s a complex thing really, and this is not the thread to discuss this, because there´s a lot more to say about it.

i care about teh eggs. caged hen eggs taste fucking awful. free range eggs are seexxxxyy. but then you are stil stopping a new chicken being born right?

i couldnt give a shit about killing insects, things need to die. like we have a chain of animals that eat other animals and that helps keep the population down. are we not part of that? we kill spiders and it keeps their population down etc?

oh yeah im not one of these dreadful people who insist everyone follows their example, i mean if you want to go eat a spider or whatnot its up to you, i just ment in my first post i hate shows where they mistreat any animal reguardless of weather its cute or not and that it shouldnt actually be allowed on tv (they dont televise fox hunting).

but anyhoo im off to get the guinea pigs ready for their big knife fight this evening, gotta get the glue set before round one dontcherknow.

what if, hypothetically
a rabbit decided to create a weather machine in the uk causing a hurricane in the US, which changed the weather patters sufficiently to create a monsoon early resulting in global warming speeding up melting the polar ice caps quick, causing the sea levels to rise just enough for a nuclear bomb "test" in afganistan creating a dust storm which swept across the sea creating a tornadoe which in turn went over a dormant volcano causing it to erupt because it flew a tree into the exact spot where the volcano wall was weakest. Creating a HUUUUGE volcano explosion which blew off half the mountain side creating a earthquake which means the crust along the plate under Fiji to shift in turn dropping the sea level significantly so quickly that it created a super mega tsunami which wiped out all america and canada.. all this was traced back to the evul wabbit.. there was a global outcry for the rabbit to be executed so it was extradited to the US.
Would it be ok to show the execution on TV? :)

Ah yes well put Ez, the cultural conditioning that allows us to turn a blind eye to the suffering of 'ugly' creatures is exactly the same reasoning that was used by the Nazi's against the Jews.

'It's only a spider'
'He's only a Jew'

Of course it's true ,the cuter you are the more right to life you have.

Funny fuckers aren't we
