PETA's Vice President of Programmes Elisa Allen has hit out at producers for
'sending a message that abusing animals is acceptable or entertaining'.
She said: 'Despite knowing the suffering, discomfort, and fear that the
unwilling animal participants endure during the show’s idiotic challenges, ITV
seems perfectly happy to continue to send the dangerous message that
abusing animals is acceptable or even entertaining.
'But it isn’t funny to see shy snakes shrink away from celebrities’ shrieks or
cockroaches confined to an inescapable chamber with a flailing human.
'Treating animals like inanimate props for puerile pranks ignores all we’ve
learned about the other remarkable beings we share the world with.
'PETA urges viewers to change the channel on this circus until producers get
animals out of there.'
