Four men have appeared before a Brisbane court on animal cruelty charges as a result of a competition with a difference at The Exchange Hotel in Brisbane. The competition included the final round of chewing/swallowing mice and then spitting them out (this was after being dared to bite off the tails of mice and then eat the mice alive). The first rounds weren't so bad and only included contestants pricking each other with pins until their nipples bled. One contestant also drank a drink containing cat food, cayenne pepper and dishwashing detergent.
The competition was apparently modelled on the show Jackass. Interestingly, contestants were apparently also given $100 drink vouchers to use before the competition started.
The RSPCA has launched the prosecution in Brisbane's Magistrates Court. The matter has been adjourned as 2 of the charged are applying for legal aid. The offences carry up to two-year jail terms or $75,000 fines.
