Angry Creepy crawlie pets DVD - Advice

All.
In amongst the presents I lavished on my loved one today I bought her a creepy crawly pets DVD - The Chamelon I spotted on line.
I'll not mention that is was not the 'wildlife' DVD I expected.
What it is is 40 min of a VERY distressed gaping mouth male Yemen chameleon sat on a branch in a viv doing nothing other than looking upset.
After rescuing a near dead female yemen from her previous owner recently, this DVD more than upset bith myself and the missus.

The disc is going in the bin and I have the company details to contact, I'm thinking of copying in the RSPCA.

What do you guys think?

very annoyed ricmac

In a Viv.

I contacted the seller on eBay, asked her not to shift any more of them as it was a v bad advert for would be herpetologists.


Apart from that it was crap too - not bothered too much about that.

In future u should avoid DVD's made by people who dont have a reputation for their film productions, then u wont be as likely to be as let down in the future.

I'd avoid showing it to the rspca, that'll be more ammunition for them
