Guest guest Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 This is one of the most despicable things I've ever seen; I actually saw the trailer for it and couldn't believe it. I hope we can generate enough letters/phone calls to pull this show off the air. I can only imagine where these animals came from and what their lives are like even between episodes or when it's finished shooting -- not to mention what they actually go through for the " stunts. " PLEASE write and/or call everyone on the list below. I even encourage us to write letters to newspapers and media to raise awareness about this outrage. Speak out against FOX's " Man vs. Beast " Show On Wednesday, Jan. 15th at 9 p.m., the Fox television network broadcasted " Man vs. Beast, " an hour-long " reality " program that pit human beings against animals in a variety of unnatural and degrading stunts. Among the events were a chimpanzee that " competed " against a human in an obstacle course, an orangutan who " challenged " a sumo wrestler in a tug-of-war, and a hotdog-eating " contest " between a bear and the record holder for hotdog-eating champion. Other events included an elephant, a giraffe, a bear, and a zebra.
