I'm going to come back on this one. I know that it is often necessary for people to kill pests which threaten their livelihood. I don't believe this was the rationale in the programme I cited. HFW was in his woodlouse frittes phase at the time and I think he was courting controversy to raise viewing figures. In my opinion he showed a contempt for life. Interestingly the main comeback he had was for his placenta pate. I had no problem with this. I do however, think he was looking for unacceptable things to eat and therefore killed with contempt. This is an attitude I cannot be having with.
