Is it or is it not mean to lift rabbits by their ears? I just saw Angela do it on Bednobs and Broomsticks; I know that was a different era and all but surely it would have been edited out!! It looks horrible but maybe I'm not in the know?!

Absolutely unacceptable!
It is very mean. It's an old film and so I doubt they would now edit it out.
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
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
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.
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!
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!

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?
