Where do you draw the line?
Television and cinema rules are that no animal will be harmed in the making of a program / film. In a recent reality program a rat was used for food, despite there being sufficient for the contestants and this has now become a court case.
But on another cooking program, a chief went out to a field, and off camera killed a rabbit that was used in a meal. Is there a difference?
Other cooking programs use fish, can we have any more cooking programs?
The TV program about whale wars, whales are caught, lobster fishing in the far north, is there a difference?
On the fringes, what are they crew eating during a shoot, how far do you push the rule "No aminal will be harmed" ?
Am I going over board, am I missing the opint or do the rules nead to be clarified?

Comment by Brandyn Cummings on January 4, 2010 at 2:36pm - I do agree with this, but i do not find there to be a problem with cooking programs, because the animal is killed for food purposes, and it is not shown on camera. Also, the killing of the animal is usually not mentioned on the show. Beyond that, i agree 100%. Although, i do not know if all TV production companies are held to the same rules. If that is not the case, and harming animals is allowed on some shows, i think that immediate action needs to be taken.
