Action Alerts More Cruelty on 'Steve Harvey's Big Challenge' On Sunday, Feb. 13, the Steve Harvey 'Bigtime Challenge' show (WB Ch 11,
9 - 10 pm in NYC, check local listings for time, station, etc) featured
diving pigs - as he proudly announced, "From an eight-foot high diving
board" into a pool of water appx four feet deep. Three pigs climbed a narrow ladder to the diving platform; there was
obviously no way for them to go back down. Two pigs hesitantly jumped. The third animal was OBVIOUSLY TERRIFIED,
AND REFUSED. THE AUDIENCE BEGAN CLAPPING AND YELLING 'JUMP, JUMP' and 'GO PIGGY GO.'
THEN THEY BEGAN STOMPING, YELLING, 'JUMP NOW, JUMP NOW.' MORON 'JUDGE' TRACY ROSS, DIANA ROSS' DAUGHTER, YELLED, 'MAN, I COULD
SURE GO FOR A BLT!' STEVE HARVEY YELLED 'BACON AND EGGS!' 'THE PIG IS CHICKEN.'
THE THIRD PIG FINALLY DEFECATED IN FEAR, WHICH CAUSED STEVE HARVEY TO
SCOLD HIM. NOT ONE DAMN PERSON IN THE ENTIRE STUDIO EXPRESSED THE REMOTEST
CONCERN FOR THESE ANIMALS. THE LAST SHOT WAS OF THIS POOR ANIMAL BACKING UP
IN FEAR. I FELT SICK WATCHING IT. WHAT IS GOING ON? ARE WE GOING BACKWARDS AS A SOCIETY? HAVE WE MADE NO
PROGRESS??? THIS SHOW HAS BEEN CITED TWICE BEFORE ON THIS LIST. EMAIL FOR THIS SHOW'S PRODUCERS:

phone complaints. IF PEOPLE WANT TO ACT LIKE FOOLS ON THIS SHOW, THAT'S
THEIR BUSINESS - BUT TELL THEM TO LEAVE THE ANIMALS ALONE!!! PLEASE CONTACT the American Humane Association, which is 'mandated' to
stop animal cruelty in movies and on tv. (they actually receive money for
this task that they perform poorly) DEMAND THAT THEY PUT A STOP TO THE
CRUELTY ON THIS SHOW. They never responded to the last contact re this show
- probably too busy counting their money. Email: [email protected]
, ph (888) 301-3541 ALSO: contact the ASPCA. THIS IS ANIMAL CRUELTY - SURELY ONE OF THESE AGENCIES CAN STOP IT. EMAIL: [email protected]
