Reality TV blamed for pet cruelty
The RSPCA thinks reality survival shows may be behind a dramatic rise in cases of animal cruelty in the UK.
The charity has noted a spate of deliberate violence and "shocking cruelty" to animals in recent weeks.
It said shows like I'm A Celebrity, in which stars ate live insects, may have desensitised attitudes to animals. Sure.
I know I wanna eat bugs because I saw it on tv.

Next week, the RSPCA will pursue legal action against lemmings for willfully walking themselves off cliffs to their certain doom. Regardless of this being animal instinct of self-destruction, it is cruelty to animals and the RSPCA won't stand for that.
PETA, on the other hand, will create an ad throwing women over a cliff to show how brutal it is that lemmings do it to themselves. Spokesperson for PETA replied to questions about why PETA chose to depict women being thrown off cliffs like lemmings instead of addressing the relevant issue of insect eating on Reality TV shows saying, "We felt that an advertisement containing a woman being eaten would not deter men from eating insects. Unless, we put insects in her to be eaten, like a spider crawling out of panties... Now there's an ad!!" and the spokesperson reportedly ran off in search of the marketing department.
