I'm not sure how to put this without sounding silly but the fact of the matter is, I felt extremely bad for those poor poor mices! I don't really know what can be done to stop using animals such ways. I know Rohit and the entire crew is as concerned about the safety of the reptiles , wild cats and all the animals used on the show, they've also issued warnings several times to the participants, but my heart sort of sank at the sight of those terrified mices in the box today. The way they looked up at the erratic hand coming at them and hid in corners and below each other, trying to escape the rough handling and snatching away of them away and their buddies in the box..was very distracting to me. I couldn't really focus much on the participants, as the mices and their terrified condition had my attention . That acted well as a distracting factor and rightly so.

Ridhi was probably the only one that acknowledged and verbalized her concern, for a mere few seconds, the others obviously were focused on the stunt. I don't blame any one of the participants, but really..is it neccessary to use such tiny creatures in such shows that can be easily mishandled and are aware, they don't have the ability to fight back ? could literally see through their fear and anxiety and the panic between them. It was hard for me to watch. I just wish that didn't happen and doesn't happen in such shows...an absolutely emotional wish perhaps devoid of realism or is not neccessary, but yeah.. just felt like sayin it.

To be honest, I see no need for the animals to be included. All of them. From the snakes, to the lizards. My favourite stunts are the ones without the animals. They are harder too. I know this stems from fear factor but it really is not necessary. Even the insects and cockroaches and scorpions. Though people usually don't care much for them or worms either.
For a show on stunts they can do stunts without animals.

Rashmi, especially, needs to handle them carefully. I totally get that she gets too nervous, and I would too! But, she has done that more than once, and twice.

Yea, my favorite stunts are also without the use of animals. Catwalk stunt was one that I liked, there are a LOT others but I'm walking that right now, so thought of mentioning it!

@bold - I think we should do that. I agree it's scary to watch and they shouldn't use animals at all in the stunts. Especially not the small and defenseless! :(

I love the stunts with crocodiles, tigers and such animals but not with tiny creatures like a mouse. They can be mishandled very very easily

Well, this is Fear Factor and some people has a fear of animals (Zoophobia it is, I think?), so in my opinion this is a good way to fear them or even to get rid of their fears! 😆

But I also know the fact that using and mishandling animals is not a positive idea and that can hurt them.

I would just suggest to handle them with care and if something happens to the animals, then they should be disqualified 😕

Because if they get rid of animals, then only water/air/strength stunts will be left.

i can understand your feelings dear , no one wants to see those poor animals hurt here . but what to do that's the concept . thank god that atleast everyone is concerned about them and does warn the contestants not to harm them or hurt them.
