Television programs using animals: legal, but … – 20minutos.es

Reporters who try to be swallowed up by the cameras anacondas, caimans sets tours or tarantulas and realities that among participants with goats and chickens. The use of animals for TV entertainment formats causes every day a greater number of complaints from users that leverage social networks to make visible their displeasure.

“Let there protests is positive, it means that a growing number of people who care for animals, “says Miguel Angel Gil, caretaker of the ‘wildlife’ Killer Karaoke , one of programs has recently been criticized by animal rights groups.

The protests are positive, has grown the number of people for animals The naturalist is concerned, which ensures that in the past was “an extreme protectionist” he says, however, that these complaints “are not founded” : “We select appropriate for testing species and do shift rotations for the animal does not suffer any damage, “he explains. Gil added that caring for the creatures set the record rate and modified or deleted challenges of space (tests that appeared sharks, piranhas, stingrays and toads to ensure their well-being discarded). “We have a much more stringent than the laws of animal protection protocol”, defends.

But what dictates the law? The law prohibits Madrid “use animal shows, fights, festivals and other activities involving cruelty or abuse, can cause them suffering or make them subject to unnatural treatments. ” The Catalan specifies the ban also cause them “degradation, parodies, quips, unnatural treatment that may offend the sensibilities of those who contemplate it.”



insufficient Laws

Javier Moreno , cofounder of Animal Equality, is insufficient rules: “You can reduce the negative impact on the species, but not avoid Animals are not objects of props, with its display on a stage they go. to suffer in one way or another. The best way to prevent it is that they are not used in shows, “he says.

The species are not objects of props The same view is the FAADA Foundation, which has launched a petition to ask Mediaset that dispenses the use of animals in Killer Karaoke and requires, in general, the removal of animals from the audiovisual based on testimonies of veterinarians that said merely to “take these animals from their usual place them creates stress.”

The organization also criticizes the message “antieducacional” of fear and repulsion that is encouraged by evidence on cucharachas or tarantulas participating in the program issuing Four. “Space is not far from the nineteenth-century standards of the concept of beasts or animals disgusting, unworthy in the XXI century” he says.



In the spotlight

The space Mediaset is not the only one who has been criticized in this direction. The next issue of the program Devoured Vivo Discovery Channel, where the reporter announces its willingness to being swallowed by an anaconda and then be rescued alive , has caused a great stir and many who have excelled to stress this can cause the reptile.

The Tima bear is forced to reconcile the circus with film, commercials and ‘Red Eagle’ The taste of reality Big Brother for inviting pets into the house of Guadalix, bullfighting programs or contest The conqueror doomsday ETB (this Finally, accused of killing his chickens for testing, frogs, worms, fish, crustaceans or aa fat turkey force, causing vomiting, to the laughter of the participants) are some of the productions that have been more coscorrones by advocates animal. FAADA further alleges other cases, such as the Bear Tima (called the Human Bear ) who is forced to reconcile their performances in different circuses with appearances in series ( Red Eagle) , commercials ( Iniesta and Bear GOL TV) or films like The Last Days . And if the tigress Noa , which has been seen in The Ant or numerous advertising such as Billletes that make you dream . Lottery

Neither film are affected: last week a record against the film White Paul Berger opened by the death of nine bulls to breed bulls during filming in the bullring in Aranjuez. Accordingly, the tape would have been filmed images which resulted in the torture and death of nine bulls without authorization to conduct a public spectacle of bullfights (the producer of the film denies it).
