Animals used in trials
 

RIGHT obviously idc about insects but i don’t hate them BUT when they’re using whole ass snakes and you can clearly see how distressed they are getting like no this is gross axe this show

Shut up

That was HORRENDOUS to watch

Bye didn't she eat it too

No she just shook it in a glass because she was feeling frisky.

Yeah, she had to shake it around until it went into a ball and then swallow it nn

that’s so sad :(

She was robbed just like that poor spider's life :(

I'll shake you in a glass

I remember when this gif was banned lol

I found this too funny

The dog you chow down on at the Chinese buffet suffers more but that doesn't stop you!

I shouldn’t have laughed

To be fair most of the snakes seemed very chilled it was just the two hatchlings at the very start that were a tad defensive , both in the S shape and wildly striking out like many hatchlings do whilst they're so small and vulnerable.

the snakes are abused and vilified

it makes people hate snakes and it makes people kill snakes (like adders and grass snakes)

I am astounded in 2018 we are still allowing this abuse like last night for out titillation

also dropping spiders from 4 or 5 feet on their backs too

Agree, I don't mind the swimming ones where the animals are just swimming around minding their own business but bothering tiny snakes just for TV viewing, I can't believe they are getting away with it in 2018, that said they are clever in that they use all animals who have a bad press anyway, spiders, ants, rats, and snakes, would they drop a cute baby rabbit from a great height...no

yes if it had been puppies in the chamber and one bit Emily and she dragged it out and threw it against the wall....


:skull:

That was sick

I do think it's a bit needless and also, there's an obvious difference between being OK with some animal suffering for food and being ok with it for pure entertainment. The latter is totally unnatural. Well, a bit unnatural anyway. Cats kill for fun / sport but arguably it's also "practice" for required food hunting. The only animals that have been observed killing PURELY for entertainment are humans and dolphins.

That said I mind less when it's bugs and reptiles as they don't actually have the same sort of emotional response that we imagine they do... they're instinct driven and don't feel "fear" the way we understand it.

It does bother me when it's rats though. Rats are as intelligent and affectionate as dogs, and definitely DO feel emotionally upset and scared.

I hate it.
