I can see why a lot of people would have a problem with this.
On prime time UK TV (augmented by freeview and satellite) there are a plethora of animal rescue or Vet programmes, and if home grown RSPCA or Vet Hospital style ones are not enough we get imports from Australia and New Zealand too. Very popular, often sentimental and always willing to use a nice shock factor.
The actions and re-actions of these neglected marmite rescuers is so bang on that the comedy just falls flat. The only chuckle was the little lad at the end pulling a face and going ‘yuck!’
