Animal Cruelty on "I'm a celebrity..."

In January and February this year, I was in for a double-whammy. During a visit back home in Germany, I had the pleasure to be able to watch the German version of "I'm a celebrity - get me outta here". In February then, the Brits moved into the Australian jungle in order to fry some more brain cells back home.

I was wondering during both shows what measures had been taken in order to keep any other wildlife out of the compound. Obviously I wasn't the only one wondering about this. Several worries and concerns have been voiced over the course of the last months. All wondering about the whereabouts of those animals that lived in this particular part of the rain forest.

There is not a lot that can be done now to prove if animals or insects were harmed in any way. But I am still concerned about signals that shows such as this are sending out to people here. In a BBC news article from October last year it is said that animal cruelty rates in the UK had gone up.
