Just tells me how desperate fake program makers are to put money in their pockets.

Like all other fake "reality" shows, they are designed to appeal to immature and easily led flocks of watchers who are not interested in keeping their IQ levels stable ....

What a horrible concept for a tv show.

At first I thought the 'meat' was a typo.

Well said Tas.

I wonder if this new show will spread world wide as some others have.

It may gain popularity from the non meat eaters of the world.

We don't watch any of the reality shows and can't ever recall watching any.

I thought the same as you at first, a typo,

If they want a show featuring people having to make heart wrenching, and otherwise unthinkable decisions about the fate of animals that they're fond of, why don't they take a camera crew and head off into country NSW, or Queensland?

From the sound of their "show", it's not like there isn't plenty of their kind of "entertainment" to be found out there...

"This week we're visiting a dairy farmer who's had to sell his entire herd to the local meatworks...".

But everyone knows that reality doesn't get the ratings the way "reality" TV does...

I don't watch much Tv at all,  would be less than a couple of hours a week.

same with Netfix, might watch it here and there but not a lot. 

Think the likes of Hector Crawford  would be dissappointed in the standard of tv programs today.

It's beyond disgusting and hopefully doomed to fail

I watch some reality shows, I really enjoy Escape to the Country and Tony Robinson Time Walks

Not only is the show sick, but surely the British have animal cruelty laws (like I assume it is in Australia) where it would be illegal to kill the animals the way they are saying. I hope so anyway.
