Will the tigers of "Fort Boyard" ever disappear? - Laurent Vu / FTV / ALP

Journalist Hugo Clément, defender of the animal cause, participated this Saturday in the program Fort Boyard . Many Internet users have mocked this contribution by pointing out the contradiction between the convictions of the host on France 2 and his presence in the show involving animals for the purposes of the game.

Fort Boyard has already been under fire from criticism regarding captive animals for entertainment purposes. The One Voice association was mobilized in 2016 affirming "resolutely oppose these cruel games and demand the ban of any animal trained on television". However, wild animals and insects are still present in the program.

What do you think of the use of animals in Fort Boyard? Do you think they are essential on the show? Do you or do you not agree with the criticisms made in this regard?
