What the fuck does that matter? Do you think the chickens on farms are wild chickens that shoot up fields full of llamas when the cows are asleep?

Yes but its still someones pet..Sorta well it belonged to the Producers and wasnt ment to be ate or killed.

it's still a rat lol
wild or not

It was a pet used for the production of the show. Sure it was not meant to be killed, but I don't think chickens appreciate going into your mouth either, kid. A rat is still a rat, a farm animal is still a farm animal. Eating animals = same difference.

And again, the ones you eat suffer far worse.

Okay then..

Do you reckon Gino & Stuart will be sent to Jail then?
It said there looking 3 years.

I highly, highly doubt it, somehow ...

Oh lord.

omg someone here actually compared RATS to babies?:eek:....
CLASSIC:hello:

Yeah. And those lads are going behind bars for three years for the manslaughter of a rat!

Well ... the ratslaughter of a rat.

good old p c world

I read this on Google news with my boyfriend. We sat there pissing ourselves for 10 minutes.

3 years, over a ****ing rat!

3 years what???

They could get 3 years in prison.

It's completely daft and contradictory, I've got nothing more to say about it.

That is absolutely ridiculous!

I bet they didnt even know about this law,
poor sods :joker:

does anyone know if gino will be on this morning? i really want to hear what he's got to say about this:cool:

They are all to blame - inc. Gino and Stuart. Gino actually killed it - so bears main responsibility - he knew they weren't going to starve, it wasn't a necessity.

How is it different if it is a wild rat or pet rat? surely killing is killing?
We kill animals for food all the time so how is this different
Surely it should be the producers who are responsible because they knew they were planning to kill the rats and didn't stop them and Gino didn't know they were pet ones.

Down Under they say it was a Pit Rat?

which can not be killed/eaton like that.


Sack the ITVFat producer
he could of stopped this.


Where is Down Under
Ange7 - when you need him.

They should get a good 'ticking off' for it - but 3 years in prison is ridiculous! Perhaps a fine or something like that!

Yes but Only to the ITV On Site Fat Producer
who should be aware of all rules.

Why didn't any of the crew intervene when they were talking about killing and eating a rat? Surely they would've contacted either Stu or Gino if they had known it would stir up such a fuss, but they just let them do it. I mean c'mon. It's bloody ridiculous.

Anybody who says they deserve three years in prison for killing a rat has a ****ing screw loose.

people catch rats in traps all the time, is that illegal too??

The fault lies with the producers, and if they are sent to jail ITV ought to dig deep in their pockets. Its their fault.

Over Here
No.


Down Under - not the same Laws.
