Wise Old Thumper
‘’Last night Channel 4s ‘Scared of the dark’ involved celebrities completing an identification task, in the pitch black. A rabbit was trapped in a box and the participants had to guess what it was. You can watch from 13 minutes here:

The host Danny Dyer said it himself, "poor little Thumper", we think our Patron Dr Emma Milne sums it up perfectly.
“At what point did this pass any sort of scrutiny from the TV company beforehand? You have a prey animal, alone, with nowhere to hide or escape, being screamed at and manhandled solely for human entertainment. There is zero justification for this and, worse, from an animal welfare perspective it is simply unforgivable.”
