There’s more trouble brewing for the new NBC series “Animal Practice.” First, they pre-empted The Who and Ray Davies at the closing ceremonies of the 2012 London Olympics. Now, PETA is protesting the show. The animal rights group feels Crystal, the monkey star of the sitcom, is being exploited and have rallied the troops to let NBC know they are not pleased.
They posted on their Facebook page this morning and asked their followers to join in protest today in Burbank at the NBC studios. They were also looking for volunteers to wear monkey masks, which they provided to willing participants on site. For anyone who couldn't make it in person, or who didn't see the post in time, it's not too late to support the cause. They can still join in the fun by wearing black in support of Crystal.
They pleaded with fans, “We would love to have you come out and hold a sign and help hand out leaflets!" PETA is bringing up an age-old question in the entertainment industry. Is it cruel towards animals to put them in front of the camera solely for our entertainment? Crystal, who has starred in both “Night at the Museum” and “The Hangover Part II,” has not commented on the alleged exploitation. So, whose side are you on: NBC’s or PETA’s?

Such organizations believe that humans are an invasive species that needs to be eradicated. I invite them to put their money where their mouths are and be the first to go...
2) insurance companies REQUIRE the presence of AHS or ASPCA agents on sets or they will refuse to give the green light to filming, and those agents must be present from the time the animal arrives to the time the animal leaves, in addition to vets and properly trained and licensed animal handlers and trainers.
3) after an accident, as I stated above, investigations are conducted to see if any negligence was at fault (if it is, pretty hefty fines are levied against the film studio) and how to prevent the accident in the future... which is the same thing that's done in industrial accidents and other workplace accidents in every business, including the US military, and they use combat trained dogs with MPs for bomb sniffing, drug sniffing, suspect wrangling and other dangerous duties.
Due to their woman objectifying, and out right racist attempts to get attention...
By the way, does anyone ever notice that PETA never seems to a give much of a damn about reptiles, or that they never harass moter gangs?
