For the past couple of years there have been a lot of people against im a celeb for the cruelty but not enough because they are still using live creatures.
bugs snakes rats etc they deserve to be alive to and left in the wild where they are not stressed and kept in small boxes and killed for peoples entertainment !

Why cant they do more physical trials they are actually more interesting to watch.

what do they do with the animals after the trials , keep them in boxes for more trials to get stressed about! The show could at the very least show on tv that they are being tret well .

plus it is giving people the wrong idea , basically saying the animals are dangerous when they are not when they are left alone , and its showing kids its okay to kill animals when it isnt . The show is outdated and the cruelty needs to stop!

I agree with you Gina.
Unfortunately a lot of people think that they are fair game because they are only "bugs".

Why the hell do they have to kill so many ?

If they decide not to use insects in future series' it would be okay I suppose, but I can't bring myself to care about them dying tbh.

I doubt anyone is actively hunting bugs to kill en masse IRL, so I think it influencing people to be cruel to animals is stretching it somewhat.

Total PC nonsense.

The rats and snakes are pretty well looked after, they don't get killed.

I am sure a few bugs do, so what? They are insects and man is at war with a huge range of insects.

If you are so concerned about living things turn vegan and also don't take medicine when you are ill, fancy killing all those bacteria and viruses which have a right to life apparently!

Finally stop eating plants as well, what right have you to kill them? You are killing many of them and there is only one of you so just sacrifice yourself and you can die happy and virtuous!

I bet some of the chickens in the UK would give their right arm to be in the jungle doing a few bush-tucker trials

Quite right, there are billions more bugs than us and they'd eat us alive given the chance so I dont see the problem with us doing it.

So if your home was infested with cockroaches, rats, fleas etc, you would either live with them or move out? I think you're going a bit over the top tbh.

Insects and bugs don't have lives - they just exist. They don't have wives and husbands and jobs and mortgages. They would also eat you alive given the chance.

I can understand the worry regarding rats and snakes, but bugs!! No.

I agree with you 100%.
One of the reasons I stopped watching is of the use of insects,animals, snakes etc it is all so cruel, stomach churning and unnecessary.
Why can't they find tasks that do not need to harm anything living, that is apart from the competitors.

Insects are capable of experiencing basic fear, and some studies suggest they may be capable of experiencing pain. Animals and reptiles can be very intelligent, and certainly can show emotions, and feel pain, fear and stress.

Wildlife experts Chris Packham and Bill Oddie have both stated that the way the program treats insects and animals is cruel, so something needs to change.

Insects have babys build homes for them selves go around in nests(like a family) they breath air same as us so your saying that isnt living , yeah we stand on them daily we cant help that but to purposely use them to basically kill them for entertainment isnt right.

Im not over reacting i just care about nature

The animals are often trampled on which must cause distress to them and even injury,every creature 'no matter how small' plays an important part on this planet and should not be used in this way for entertainment purposes,the animals are sometimes doctored such as crocodile jaws or subdued which is not natural,there seems to be an increase in the mass farming of insects etc to fulfill a requirement for this series.
What example are we setting towards our children who think it is ok to treat creatures in this way just for a show ? nobody will convince me that its right to behave in this way,its cruelty.

To kill any living creature for any reason, including for food, is wrong, but this is a cruel evil world dominated by a species that is greedy and selfish, it takes us all to make a change, we can do things ourselves like stop eating animals and their by products , and slowly the human race will realise what they are doing and stop the destruction of billions of animals every year for their own need.
Food or entertainment, it still goes on, and this programme in the whole scheme of things, doesnt even scratch the surface when it comes to human cruelty.

Agree with the OP, I only dip into the series and am disappointed they haven't come up with more imaginative tasks and physical tests. Stressed animals aren't my idea of entertainment.

I thought Jimmy was funny but I'm finding him really annoying in tonight's programme - he's shouting over everyone else, always has to be right, won't listen to anyone else and his ego is massive.

I take it you don't drive then, especially at night. If you do think of all those poor bugs, moths, frogs etc that you have killed on your journeys.

Shame on you, poor animals.
