Just this past year on America's Funniest Videos(I saw nothing funny
with this), a father and son were sitting across from each on a picnic
table with the family pet mouse in a cage. As they were letting it out
the camera caught a flash of very fast moving bird zooming through
them taking the mouse with it. It happened in a blink. Many raptors do
not attack from high up either but just drop from a tree branch and
glide low to the ground.

Wow, I don't see anything funny about that either. Obviously, the poor
mouse's owners were not too despondent about its death if they
submitted a video (or maybe someone else submitted it, but that's
equally disgusting) and the TV show's producers must not be very kind
people to find the death of a pet funny.

I have watched that show about twice in my life. No offense but it
seems to be geared to the lowest common denominator. I would hope they
at least got some complaints about running that video.

It was amazingly not funny and had no place on that show. It's one
thing to submit videos of stupid people doing stupid things, but that
was just a tragedy in my mind, and it also had to be to the child who
owned the pet mouse.

There has been some other sick videos such as the cat who grabbed
something hanging from a moving ceiling fan. The cat ended up flying
off and bouncing of a wall. Naturally the audience laughed.

UGH! I'd rather watch "Animal Planet's, The Planet's Funniest Animals"
where they won't show any videos in which an animal is hurt (and ask that no
animals be harmed in the making of videos to submit).
