Forged in Fire (TV series) a reality television competition series that airs on the History Channel, produced by Outpost Entertainment shows people forging swords. The problem is that they use animal bodies to show how their swords hack and stab. These animals lived in sad conditions and died - for this? link to video  (graphic):   https://vimeo.com/222450967   The amount of animal abuse seems to be never ending, everyday more and more in the news.  This only adds fuel to the fire. Could you imagine a dog hanging here or a cat?  Recently a woman was up on charges and had to go to court for showing compassion to pigs on their way to slaughter.    "The Worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be INDIFFERENT to them: That's the essence of inhumanity"-George Bernard Shaw

L'HISTORIQUE DE DEMANDE CHANNEL'S FORGED IN FIRE POUR ARRÊTER L'UTILISATION D'ORGANES ANIMAUX DANS LEUR SHOW

Par: Cindy Moynan

Cible: History Channel Canada et Forged in Fire reality show

Forged in Fire (série télévisée), une série des séries télévisées réalisées par Outpost Entertainment montre des personnages forgeant des épées. Le problème, c'est qu'ils utilisent  des corps de cochon pour montrer comment leurs épées piquent et poignardent. (Merci Martine Cuisenaire pour la traduction)

UNACCEPTABLE surely in this day and age a program should understand that these animals have worth and that killing an animal so someone can play Knight's of the Round Table will not be tolerated.  http://www.history.ca/forged-in-fire/  Please stop using animals as tests for your program and show some respect.

thank you everyone for signing this petition, this program shows the lack of respect for living beings. Programs are our entertainment - this is not entertainment it shows the lack of empathy and compassion for our animals and teaches people that it's ok to kill and mutilate living beings and then discard them like garbage. Contact Corus & tell them it's not ok http://www.corusent.com/contact-us/ thank you for caring

I thank everyone for signing, some have stated that they think the pic is fake. Have uploaded the video that I took while show was on air. I apologize for the graphic violence in it. But this is seen as entertainment. What if it happened to be dogs? How would people feel, would they watch it with their children then?
