Animal Abuse?

[Mike41793]

RANT ALERT: Watching Fear Factor right now. The challenge is for couples. The girl goes in a tank laying down and gets covered with ball pythons and some red tail boas. Their sizes range from babies up to adults. Most of them are baby balls. The guy had to stick his head in the tank and pick them up with his mouth and carry them over and drop/spit/fling/toss them into another tank. Wtf, this is so wrong. I cant imagine how stressed those snakes are and then getting dropped like 3 feet into another tank could really hurt them! Baby balls ribs/spine could definetly be damaged from a drop like that! Plus the idiots doing it are probably not being gentle and biting them. I was praying sooooo hard that the one 7 foot rtb they had in the tank would just whip around and bite the contestant right in the face. I found it to be extremely disgusting show of entertainment. The producers were probably like oh theyre just snakes, nobody cares if we abuse them. What if this was with puppies getting bit and tossed around? Then people would care I guess. Sorry for the rant but if anyone bothers to read all this please tell me if you feel the same way or if Im overreacting a little bit. Im considering writing a strongly worded letter to the shows producers but before I do Id like to see if I have a reason to or if Im being hasty... Thanks everyone

I missed the actual episode but I'm still going to write a letter. This is ridiculous.

Do you have to friend them or anything? Or just like the page?
I wanna do the same!
This is insane! I hope we can get as many people as possible to harass them with rants/letters/calls/emails/anything and maybe theyll learn a lesson!
I mean honestly who is in charge of caring for the wellbeing of the animals in these stunts? Wtf anyone with 10 minutes of bp experience would know NOT to do pretty much everything they did!

I've hated that show for years for the way it treats animals, especially snakes. There was one episode a long time ago, where the contestant had to lie in a Plexiglas box and get covered in corn snakes. There must have been a solid foot of baby corns just dumped on top of her. I was appalled. They were probably freaking out, getting squashed and rolled on... and how was the girl supposed to get out without hurting any of them? I'm going over there right now to express my disappointment that they're STILL doing this stuff

Fear Factory needs a lawsuit down there.. Well, I'd get lots of infractions if I said what I wanted to say.
