I also found the use of rats upsetting and unnecessary. Keith Duffy's description of them was ignorant and predictable. I'd rather look at a rats face over his any day.
A completely pointless show in my opinion.

Sorry if that includes some of the people who said you were 'over-reacting' why don't you tell them they are 'dumbing down' that should get a good argument going in your house
We've had that argument both tonight, and previously.
My opinion of reality tv shows is this, mindless sh1t3.

However, I've taken on board people's comments regarding the show and have put in a strong complaint.
Honestly, WTF were ITV thinking?

The use of these dogs was totally irresponsible given the present climate re dangerous dogs. It was also out of order and against animal welfare to tease and wind the dogs up as happened.
As a responsible dog owner I was disgusted. The programme should be prosecuted for their actions.
