louis theroux - big pets

[mousyfledermaus]

who wants an animal as a pet that can eat you?

lol, Gush!

Erm, the monkey's tongue was in it's mouth.

This is heartbreakingly awful.

(+ this is definitely the most scared I have ever seen Louis)

Monkey's tongue in the man's mouth, that is. It's tongue is obviously in its own mouth as well.

I watched a bit and just couldn't stomach it.
It made me feel physically sick and very very angry.

W. T. Actual. F

A kangaroo in a pushchair?

Oh these poor poor creatures.

hope the chimp wasn't hurt when he bashed the window.

iare that was my exact reaction to the kangeroo as well.

I really do try not to mock Americans, but some of them just make it so easy

What did he say about 1400 animals?

The bloke with the white tiger deserves to be tiger food. What. A. Tit. Love the way he was pulling on the humungous tiger's thin lead and saying 'LEAVE IT' when the tiger looked a bit like eating someone. One day that tiger will get bored and bite his stupid, arrogant head off and use it as a football. He genuinely seems to be under the delusion that he is in control of that creature

These chimps are just heartbreaking.

I love Louis. He plays it all innocent and naive and gets people to say things they otherwise wouldn't.

the poor chimps. anything seems wrong after seeing the happy chimps at monkey world...

Yes :( The mental distress is so obvious. All of the repetitive behaviour. They have tiny cages and no stimulation. Is anyone really this naive? Or are they just cruel fuckers?

Me and DH are sat her agog! How come most if not all of Louis's documentaries are about southern americans? In that it seems to be the god fearing bible belt I have a gun and that is my right types?

gah! I meant to watch this. I saw a newspaper article about these big pets the other day, apparently there are more tigers in captivity in the States thatn live in the wild .

Will try and catch the repeat.

Why would anyone want loads of ugly cages full of noisy, unhappy, aggressive animals?. Why not have some flowers or trees in your garden instead?

Missed this, do you know when it's repeated? I've had a flick through the planner but can't see it.

I found this so upsetting. Veered between rage and despair all the way through. So cruel and distressing. Do love how Louie acts so innocent and gets people to open up and tell him things they really shouldnt.

it's on i-player chickflit

i watched it this afternoon - quite disturbing really

I am just watching this now. I am at the whole thing.

I caught this last night on the repeat, it's unbelievable. The man with the white tiger he's going to get eaten one day - but that's okay because it's what he loves, what a complete dick ,and he doesn't respect or trust his wife, but she's the one paying the bills.

And the chimp breeder "yes I knew Travis' mom" "oh was she from here?" "I meant his human mom".

These people are all nutters. If I'd seen that animal roadshow in my local ASDA car park there's no way I'd be paying cash for my kids to have their photos taken with a tiger, and that poor little bear, it broke my heart.

Louis was bricking it though!

That man was rather too fond of his monkey wasn't he? Love Louis Theroux!

What a hideous show. I saw it last night and sat open mouthed for a lot of it.
The first man with the 164 tigers was a nobber. He was making money out of that foul animal road show thing. How can he live with himself? Twat.
