Anthony Bourdain's CNN show, "Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown," glorifies and wallows in the savage, brutal suffering and slaughter of animals.

It's not enough for Anthony to just talk about culture and food; he must show a camel having his head slowly and bloodily hacked off, a roasted pig on a plate, and a close-up of a buck being shot to death, emphasizing the expression on the deer's face for full, horrific impact.

Anthony portrays a hardcore, hard-drinking, I'm-too-badass-to-care-about-feelings persona. His debauched depiction of the killings of several animals on his show can only be meant to satisfy bloodlust in certain people, but ultimately horrify and scar all other viewers.

I have written letters to CNN with no results. I have seen grotesque and heartbreaking images from Anthony Bourdain's show simply because I was flipping through channels; such is the plethora of slaughter images on his show.

Please sign my petition to tell CNN to cancel this TV show and that we will not accept animal torture as any form of "entertainment."

Please tell CNN and Anthony Bourdain that we will no longer be subjected to his Grand Guignol of gore, violence, cruelty and suffering of animals. By signing my petition, you will send a message to heartless executives that animal slaughter and the resulting agony must never be glorified or used as entertainment. Thank you for all who have a heart of human decency; your signature is much appreciated.

Update #18 years ago
CNN and Bourdain only "answer" to my petition is attacking me on social media. Bourdain has been predictably nasty. I worry that Bourdain will show worse graphic scenes of animal slaughter and torture on his next season just out of sick smug spite. Please Tweet and tell them what our new solution is; that WE have already permanently cancelled and eliminated THEM from our lives by simply deleting the CNN channel from our TVs. @erichallcnn and @Bourdain
