Disgusting display of animal cruelty
Wld8hrt:
Here is the letter I sent to CBS:
I cannot believe the cruelty to animals displayed on this season of the amazing race. I am sickened and appalled at what you have put on display. First the mistreatment of the bulls harnessed together and whipped to participate in a "race". Then participating in rodent genocide, and now live chickens tangled together and hanging Upside down, tied at their feet. This is disgusting and makes me ashamed to have recommended this show to so many people. I don't know if you have new producers or what you guys are thinking but you have ruined what used to be my favorite show. Absolutely disgusting. Shame on all of you!

Animal Cruelty? More like cultural misunderstanding more like it. The bulls harnest together is not animal cruelty, heck it's a way of life in that country. The so called "rat genocide" is pest control, how do like going to a country filled with diseased-causing vermin. And the chickens, come on thats common in parts of Asia, maybe you should respect other cultures then being disgusted by their acts of so called "Animal Cruelty". In the past, we seen chickens and goats being transported by teams in Burkina Faso, camels being whipped by mechanical jockeys in Kuwait, moving live crocodiles in India, plowing fields with oxen in the Philippines, and so on. So Wld8hrt, maybe you stop watching the Amazing Race then if you are disgusted by these acts that you claim is "Animal Cruelty."
:lol: :lol: :lol:

There is no animal cruelty (purposely portrayed here), Amazing Race is trying to show the culture of other countries to the US viewers... -_-
So... you're telling me you won't have any more meat because when you have meat, you kill the animals... which, tell me which part of dying is not painful and cruel?
Be a vegetarian.
