[Gpdd] Misc: Abuse on Animal Planet

[Marie.McDermott at CliffordChance.com]

Just sent my email.  See below.

---------------------------------------------------

This is in regards to episode #312 on February 14.  I was appalled to see
the airing of guinea pigs being tortured on your show.  I am the owner of
three guinea pigs and I know, for a fact, that piggies are not fond of
having their back pushed in or their hair pulled.  They animals were clearly
in a lot of pain. This is not entertainment.  I also find it hard to believe
that you do not have pet experts on the show to advise you when you are
crossing the line towards abuse. I also hope that you will inform the two
girls about the negativity of their behaviour and that you will inform the
public that watch your show that this should not be done at home with their
piggies.

Please be advised that many animal lovers have watched your show and are on
the verge of boycotting it altogether.
