Vets call for 'I'm a Celeb' animal ban
"There's no justification for insects, rats and reptiles suffering for entertainment" - BVA (via Twitter).
BVA and RSPCA add voices to movement.

Veterinary and animal welfare organisations are once again calling for a ban on live animals on ITV's 'I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here', as the show begins its 22nd series.

The RSPCA is calling on supporters to contact ITV to ask producers to stop using living creatures in 'bushtucker trials', where the animals are often dropped, thrown, handled roughly, crushed, chased, overcrowded, prevented from escaping situations and scared by contestants.

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has also launched a campaign called #GetAnimalsOutOfThere – highlighting veterinary surgeons' major concerns around the show's treatment of animals.
