The Great British Benefits Handout: Viewers Urge RSPCA To Intervene
I haven't seen the following programme but having just read the following article I'm amazed. Is the TV company paying this money up front? Are these families still getting their benefits on top of this money? What happens when this money runs out well before the year is out?https://uk.celebrity.yahoo.com/post/...t-viewers-urge

If a disabled person would rather feed a pet, that gives them companionship and makes their lives a little better, than feed themselves that's up to them!I don't agree with anybody keeping exotic pets at all,whether on benefits or not.

I freely admit I would feed my pet before myself, but if I had no pet to start with I wouldn't rush out to buy one if I couldn't afford it. According to the article above, this family on benefits have been given 26,000 pounds to last them a year and the first thing they do is to spend a big part of it on exotic pets that they have no idea how to care for. In my personal opinion that is very wrong indeed and those poor animals should be removed from them immediately.

It's a daft experiment! Obviously the families were picked for entertainment value and another reason to denigrate people on benefits. I hope some of them manage to change their lives. If you don't have experience of handling money it's difficult.The temptation to buy what you have never been able to afford must be huge!
