		<description>What were Animalique actually doing to the animals that compromised their welfare?

Simon Cowell may be Mr Cheese, but I do not think he is endorsing animal cruelty?

Was it him who taught the Dog Demonstration Team act dogs to run across the backs of all the dog handers when they were bending over?

Was it him who trained Ginn the collie to do the dog dancing that was one of the two acts in the semi-finals that got through to the final?

All the votes that got Ginn through to the final must all be endorsing animal cruelty too?

If Simon Cowell had said 'I think you need an Elephant in your act', he is merely saying that as what he thinks it needed.

When he said 'you need a bigger animal', the act themselves said they had a trained GSD?

All the other animal acts such as the ferret's and the 'pool playing' dog were brought to the show by their owners, this has nothing to do with Simon Cowell endorsing animal cruelty.

Bunny huggers seem to exist to cleanse the world of people having the opportunity to own or interact with animals.  The group PETA is a prime example of this.

Simon Cowell may indeed be 'Mr Nasty' and personally I do not like him, but he is not an animal abuser.

The name Animal Defenders International says it all, there is a cyclone in Burma/Myanmar, an earthquake in China, thousands if not millions of people need help and what are they, ADI more concerned about, Simon Cowell endorsing animal cruelty, which he did not?

Protecting animals is a noble cause, but keep things in perspective, get out to places like Thailand or the Phillipines and 'defend' animals in places like that!</description>

		<description>Simon Cowell is a nasty bit of work.  First he promotes the RSPCA, an animal rights organisation.  This in itself shows his poor judgment.  He uses phrases like "cum on guys".  Then he promotes shameful acts, where animals have plainly been, at best, trained to do unnatural things.  No senisble or decent person who believes in animal welfare would countenance this type of stuff.  It shows that all he really cares about is self-promotion and money.</description>

		<description>I must agree with the above comments. I only caught the Judges comments, but even so I was amazed to hear Simon Cowell tell them that they needed larger animals and ask them if they had any. When the answer was a large dog it was met with a grimace. I was not happy when I saw the Eagle Owl on stage.</description>
