Default Reality TV for sheep - 09-16-2005, 07:15 PM

[quote:733bd]Animal rights activists in Croatia have blasted a new reality show on the web where viewers vote on which sheep to save from slaughter.

In the show, shown on http://www.stado.org, seven sheep in a house in Zagreb are filmed non-stop as famous writers come in and read their works to them.

Viewers then vote on which of the sheep is thrown out of the house. After the 'eviction' the sheep has to be 'adopted' by a viewer or it is sent straight to the slaughterhouse.

Activists from the group Friends of Animals said the reality show was "scandalous" and that people were being pressured into adopting a sheep just to save it from slaughter.

The group have asked state veterinary inspectors to investigate.

But the man behind the show, Sinisa Labrovic, said: "I'm not torturing animals. I just wanted to show how people are used in reality shows and become nothing more than sheep."[/quote:733bd]

"seven sheep in a house in Zagreb are filmed non-stop as famous writers come in and read their works to them."

surely the sheep should then debate the merits of the works read to them by these so-called famous writers,
in order for the audience to really get a handle on where each individual sheep is coming from..?
