Hamas TV show criticised by animal rights activists

A show on Hamas TV depicting a man in a bee suit abusing cats and lions at a Gaza Strip zoo today drew protests from the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

In the segment on the children’s programme Tomorrow’s Pioneers, one of the show’s characters, a human-sized bee named Nahoul, swings cats around by their tails and throws stones at lions through the bars in their cage at the zoo.
