I just don't get how anyone can watch this glorified animal abuse. If you enjoy watching celebs eating pig uterus and insects etc then i think you are tacky and judge you. Sorry.

you'd have to ban a lot of programmes if eating or cooking animal products on screen is your reason.

Hefzi · 22/11/2019 17:30

And yet you don't think a reality TV habit full stop is tacky and worthy of judgement, just the eating of offal? I find MN horribly fascinating at times Grin

lilgreen · 22/11/2019 17:30

As you are not a vegan you are on very shaky ground op.

SoupDragon · 22/11/2019 17:30

I just wouldn't waggle my bacon or offal around to entertain the masses.

How does that make it less abusive to the animal?

Surely you simply mean that the programme is not to your personal taste. I agree, I don't watch it either. It isn't abusive for showing celebrities eating meat though.

spacepyramid · 22/11/2019 17:30

I believe they have stopped the consumption of live insects

They have but they haven't stopped the animal cruelty.

FirstTicket · 22/11/2019 17:34

killed specifically so someone could eat its arse hole oh Worra this has me in stitches Grin

Also to the PP who eye rolled vegans, all the veggie/vegans so far have said OP is BU Hmm

I just can't understand how you don't see that it's beneficial, not abusive, to consume parts of an animal that would've been wasted. Honestly if i was stranded in the jungle in real life and starving you better believe i would eat a dead bull's bellend (NOT a sentence i thought i'd ever utter!)

WorraLiberty · 22/11/2019 17:38

'Bellend and arse hole' sounds like a brand of tinned hot dogs Grin

Notodontidae · 22/11/2019 17:39

It sends the wrong message, that animals are here for our amusment and abuse. On top of that it is pretty worthless TV. I agree it should be banned.

MockersFactCheckMN · 22/11/2019 17:41

Presumably the uterus is from an already slaughtered pig...

Well, quite.

I know someone who ate sheep's testicles for a bet.

Sheep didn't half kick him.

koshkat · 22/11/2019 17:42

It's a fucking awful programme with added animal abuse so I'm out.

WorraLiberty · 22/11/2019 17:46

Sheep didn't half kick him. Grin Grin

chomalungma · 22/11/2019 17:53

I just want to know what they do with all the animals after a challenge.
How do you round up 30,000 cricket and 20,000 mealworms?

Aschdaibach · 22/11/2019 17:53

I have always hated it for the casual cruelty to living creatures, and the presenting of those creatures as disgusting and terrifying.

InsertFunnyUsername · 22/11/2019 18:00

Every year I say the programme is rubbish i wont be watching. Every year I tune in to see the unlucky sucker who's eating a bollock.

Timeforchange0 · 22/11/2019 18:01

ITS MY FAVE SHOW!! I love it

Ironfloor269 · 22/11/2019 18:22

YNBU, OP. I completely agree with you. It shows be banned. Along with that twat Ant.

Dahlietta · 22/11/2019 18:28

I just wouldn't waggle my bacon or offal around to entertain the masses

Sadly I don’t think anybody would pay to see me waggle my offal around these days.

Topseyt · 22/11/2019 18:31

I like it, as do my DDs. Judge away.

DD3 and I are largely vegetarian. I say largely because I am more pescatarian, as I like my fish and chips. You are being silly though. It is just cuts of meat and offal that you don't see in the shops. That doesn't mean there is anything wrong with them.

Brimful · 22/11/2019 18:35

I think eating questionable parts of animals for entertainment is abusive yes.

It's odd logic to say some cuts/parts are okay but other cuts/parts are abusive. Hypocritical, too.

Bluntness100 · 22/11/2019 18:41

I think eating questionable parts of animals for entertainment is abusive yes

Why? Why is liver or leg or tummy ok but not penis or whatever? And the humans do it because they wish to. And the animals are dead, they don't care.

BarbaraFromOopNorth · 22/11/2019 18:43

I turned it over the other for exactly these reasons.

Topseyt · 22/11/2019 18:44

In order to know how to judge, you must actually have watched the show.

You are a covert watcher of it, so that you know what is going on in it and will be able to sit in judgment on the rest of us.

Enjoy.

Batshittery · 22/11/2019 18:48

Gosh, the fact that you a person I will never meet will judge me is going to have a such a massive impact on my life. How will I manage? Confused

Lipz · 22/11/2019 18:50

I think spiders should be banned from earth. They are bad for my nerves and they serve no purpose to us.

Eating animal intestines is normal , love a bit if liver, heart, kidney etc very tasty and bacon sambos are the best with runny egg....

Alot of what they eat are delicatesies in other countries.

UOkhun77 · 22/11/2019 19:11

Lipz - Spiders serve no purpose to us?! Can you imagine how many little flying bugs we would have without spiders to eat them?
