Hey. I've got something to say.

Who agrees with me? The show "Fear Factor" is not only idiotic, but I'm amazed they aren't in trouble for a number of animal abuse charges! That's right! Who hasn't seen tons of helpless pythons thrown across the room into buckets, or garter snakes jumped on by people. I even saw one person put snakes in her mouth. Is that messed up or what! And how about scorpions being run through meat grinders into peoples mouths? Its all trash, and it will cause people to think that snakes are only toys to throw at people and injure. It even shows rats drowning in a tank of water...
Don't you think its time for a protest?

As far as I know the ASPCA has been after them the whole time. They get around it by filming offshore. Yes that show is idiotic. I don't understand what's scary about any of the crap they do.

My wife and i thought that the whole time shut down the show!

the monsters film offshore do they? then why doesn't the fricking TV company refuse to air it?! UGH! in my book, cruelty to animals is an unforgivable sin!!!! those poor snakes and rats... and scorpions... and whatever else they've used!!! reality tv was bullcrap to start with, but it's gone beyond too far! who knows how many countless animals have suffered, died, or been tormented for the sake of that sick show. i don't even want to think about the conditions they're shipped in and forced to stay under before the gruesome spotlight moments... it scares me to think of what happens to them when they don't need them anymore for the show... probably fed to the camera crew!

One of the best ways to get their attention is to write and complain to the sponsors (advertisers). Find out which companies have their ads on the show and write to them and threaten to boycott their products. I have not seen the show, so I do not know who the sponsors are.

Wouldnt it be better to just not watch "idiotic" stuff on the tube ?
