THE BBC has been slammed with complaints from furious The Apprentice fans who accused the show of 'animal cruelty'. Last week's episode saw the candidates head to Newquay, Cornwall as part of a task involving sourcing and selling crabs at one of the county's biggest markets.
However, viewers immediately took issue with the task and the BBC has now had 102 complaints claiming it was "cruelty to animals." PETA's director Elisa Allen said in a statement after the episode aired: "PETA urges the producers of The Apprentice to stop harming animals in the name of entertainment. "And we call on viewers to help crabs and other crustaceans by leaving them in the ocean, where they belong. "Crabs are fascinating, sentient beings who care attentively for their young and are loyal to those close to them - some even greet one another by waving their claws." She continued: "Those captured and hauled up from their homes may lose their fragile legs or sustain other painful injuries before being killed in crude ways, including by being boiled alive. "Delicious, humane vegan options - including plant-based crab cakes and lobster rolls - are widely available." @font-face{font-family:'The Sun';src:url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.woff2') format('woff2'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.woff') format('woff'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.ttf') format('truetype'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.svg#') format('svg');font-style:normal;font-weight:400;font-display:swap;}@font-face{font-family:'The Sun';src:url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.woff2') format('woff2'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.woff') format('woff'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.ttf').
