Killing is used as a public relations strategy

But also outside the farm, the slaughter of rabbits provoked strong reactions. Animal rights organization NOAH has now decided to report the incident on TV 2. However, they did not start the review when See and Hear made contact.

– But we do it very quickly when we first decide. We find it a bit difficult to relate to TV 2 because we know they are looking for publicity. NOAH leader Siri Martinsen says they get it when they treat animals poorly.

Online newspaper He was the first to mention NOAH’s criticism of the program.

The organization previously issued a review based on slaughter methods. In this case, the NOAH leader believes the rabbits were killed for entertainment, which she called irony. Furthermore, Martinsen says the channel is moving on the edge of legislation.

– They did not take into account that in Norway it is not allowed to use animals for fur, and it is forbidden to keep animals for this purpose in the first place. And that’s exactly what they did here.

– Natural place on the “farm”

For its part, TV 2 said that it can reassure viewers of “Farmin” that the channel is interested in animal welfare. Jan-Petter Dahl, Director of Press for TV 2, writes in an email to Se og Hør.

– We want the slaughter to take place in a safe and painless manner, and the rabbits were slaughtered by a butcher who is authorized to slaughter rabbits professionally, explains Dall.

NOAH’s request for review is noted. Dahl also rejects allegations that the purpose of the killing was propaganda.

– No, we do not do this at all to stir up controversy or publicity. Slaughter has been on “The Farm” since the early seasons. The framework of the program is life on a farm a hundred years in time, and slaughter was a normal part of everyday life at the time.

Wanted to withdraw – put up an ultimatum

Dahl says that TV 2 received “a handful” of inquiries after Tuesday’s episode, but insists that slaughter has a perfectly normal place in “The Farm,” where concepts must have lived on a farm a hundred years ago in time.

– We test that it is not in dispute that it is part of the TV show. For the participants, it is voluntary whether you participate in the massacre or not, and of course we do not show images of the massacre on television, Dahl writes.
