london city came to a standstill this morning as 40,000 insect rights activists came out in protest against itv<u+2019>s popular reality television game show i<u+2019>m a celebrity get me out of here, over the mass slaughter of critters. 




complaints poured in to the itv studios following last night<u+2019>s trial, which saw callous contestants stomp and crush hundreds of insects live on air following a trial, which saw hundreds of thousands of organisms being forced into a box with four celebrities. 




<u+201c>the cruel bastards just got up after their trial and squashed everything in their path,<u+201d> insect rights activist dona smith told wwn, <u+201c>these vile people have no regard for life and tonight they<u+2019>re actually going to eat insects alive. they obviously get off on murdering innocent insects. this show should be banned from the air <u+2013> it<u+2019>s disgusting<u+201d>. 




london police were later called to disperse today<u+2019>s protesters as things got heated when one of the producers of the show tried to enter the itv building in london situated in the south of the city. 




<u+201c>tempers flared and several insect activists attacked and injured some three policemen, before overturning a car and burning it out,<u+201d> confirmed one officer. 




itv confirmed that 2,345 cockroaches were killed in australia during last night<u+2019>s episode, along with 456 mealworms and 17 spiders. one rat was also treated for shock and is said to be in a stable condition today at a local vet<u+2019>s surgery. 




insect rights groups have vowed to keep protesting the show<u+2019>s ongoing cruelty, and a million strong march is being organised for next week in central london.
