Absolutely unacceptable!

Kids absorb all that stuff so easily!! No wonder my nephew asked me if he could lift rabbits by the ears!! I asked him how he would feel if someone lifted him up by the ear and he said 'hurt and scared'. It's just so irresponsible!! Grrrrr! Sometimes I'm worried I can be a bit OTT so thought I should check my facts before I open a can of whoopass on the Beeb!

I know it's old but they edit out other things all the time like language or violence for daytime movies; they edited the 'little sh**' out of Three Men and A Little Lady the other day so I know they can do it!

It is very unacceptable cruel and painful. I have seen that film and the rabbit in question is quite large. To hold a heavy creature by their fragile ears is unimaginable cruel. I think it comes from the fact that dead rabbits were often carried by hunters like that 
My son saw the film a while ago and was quite rightly scandalized, thankfully our generation (for the most part) know better.

Totally unacceptable IMO. The guy I got my girls from picked his rabbits up by their ears :shock: and even now, 8 months later, they hate me touching their heads or ears. I can pet and fuss them no problem anywhere else, but go near their heads or ears and they run away from me

Aw that's so sad; my buns love a good head / ear / neck stroke; that's really awful
all my rabbits are rescued and I often wonder what their memories are; heartbreaking Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had this on at work earlier. I watched the film loads as a kid and had didn't realise this happened it on. I let out a gasp when she picked him up like that, so sad. You do see it a lot back then, it's also how magicians would pull rabbits out of a hat
I know me too; I was really shocked at that bit, I don't remember ever seeing it before!

Yes, it's a big rabbit and looks completely terrified! I know things were different back then but I don't think that's any excuse for showing it now!

I adore that film but yes it is a horrible, cruel thing to do. It is a very old film though so I can see why it happens. I'd never even thought that it should be edited out, but it could and should be done. If tom and jerry now comes with a warning for racist content then blatant animal cruelty should be edited out!

I'm pretty certain Gremlins is a 15 certificate, but I've seen it on in afternoons as a PG: so either violence etc. has become acceptable or they can edit pretty much anything these days. And yes, they won't show cartoon shorts these days so why this? I think it can only be acceptable where it's making a point, not as an incidental thing.
I was always told you mustn't do it because their eyes pop out! Even if that's not true, it must feel like it for the poor things!

Yes gremlins is a 15 for some reason, I don't know why.
I've seen the Jurassic park films on during the day and they've skipped the parts where the dinosaurs are killing/eating people even though that's only a pg.
I bet they've never edited out as they don't think it's a problem :roll: maybe if people complained, they'd do something then?

Yes I've seen many a film recently that used to be late night viewing! I think it's a combination of editing and desensitisation to violence and general profanity - gosh just sounded like my granny there! Lol!!
