Dear All,
Last night by chance while surfing channels on the TV I came across a program called "Khatron Ke Khiladi" presented by Akshay Kumar on Colors.
The episode showcased a group of contestants in pairs running with a bait and then a Cheetah being let out of a small cage. The cheetah was supposed to chase these foolish people and when it reached / caught the bait the humans had to leave the rope they were holding on to that had the bait attached to it.This process was repeated for all the couples - abt 8 couples.Before the "race" was started the poor animal, trapped in the small cage was teased with the bait and the blind folded contestants had to guess what animal it was, by the growling sound the hapless creature was making.How is this allowed?Please can you help? Thanks,Supriya Bose.
Please click here for show details:
Its the star cast of a different kind. After all, 2,000 species of animals and reptiles dont star in a TV show every day. Sonys new show, Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao, is doing exactly that. However, OIPA is not enthused.
To be shot in Taman Negara rainforest in Malaysia, wild animals such as tigers, elephants, Sumatran rhinoceros, wild pigs, mousse deer, Malayan dogs and pythons promise to raise the testosterone levels with 10 celebrity contestants.
Of course, International Organization for Animal Protection - OIPA in India isnt excited by the show. If the shoot was taking place within India, we would not have allowed it to go ahead, Naresh Kadyan, representative of OIPA in India, said.
Using animals for commercial purposes is simply not ethical. We dont know what the Malaysian law states, but OIPA doesnt endorse it anywhere in the world. We will see how animals are portrayed, he added.
Interestingly, the shows producers do not intend to bring in trained animals for the celebrities safety. Instead, the contestants will be put amidst real jungle because aman Negara already has a number of species. And, the wild animals are already sending a chill down the celebrities spines in Malaysia.
Already, a unit member has been chased by a wild boar while host Yuddhisthirs room was once hostage to chameleons.
It remains to be seen how the celebrities including Marc Robinson, Chetan Hansraj, Akashdeep Saigal, Shweta Tiwari, Anaida, Mona Wasu, Nigar Khan and Upen Patel tackle the animals besides incessant rainfall and dangerous landslides.
The Taman Negara is believed to be one the oldest rainforests in the entire world: estimated at 130 million years old. In fact, it is considered to be one of the worlds most complex and rich ecosystems.
Of late, animals have become the new attraction for TV producers.
Not long ago, Akshay Kumar-hosted Khatron Ke Khiladi showed several species like lizards, chameleons, spiders and dogs competing with a clutch of beauties.
Thats not all. MTV Roadies and Fear Factor also took the animal route to add excitement.
For instance, alligators were used in Roadies 4 as contestants attempted to complete a task amid a huge set of the lethal species.
Likewise another programme "Khatron Ke Khiladi" on Colours channels abusing animals and giving unnecessary pain, stress and injuries to the animals for joy, pride and profit, animals became a tool of publicity as well.

The TV show called "ISS JUNGLE SE MUJHE BACHAO" is kind of show where violence towards animals is displayed on television makes light of a very serious issue, and public perception about the treatment of animals & there is nothing entertaining about the unethical treatment of animals, which is used as main criterion for entertainment in this show.
"Many studies in psychology, sociology, and criminology during the last 25 years have demonstrated that violent offenders frequently have childhood and adolescent histories of serious and repeated animal cruelty.
Other research has shown consistent patterns of animal cruelty among perpetrators of more common forms of violence, including child abuse, spouse abuse, and elder abuse. "
We are not in an era where one has to live "Jungle" life so there is no meaning of broadcasting such so called reality shows at the cost of helpless lives ..it would definitely affect child psychology of present as well as future generations .
Please help to save innocent animals from sacrificing by boycotting this show . Likewise another programme "Khatron Ke Khiladi" on Colours channels abusing animals and giving unnecessary pain, stress and injuries to the animals for joy, pride and profit, animals became a tool of publicity as well.
