Just got a reply from the AHA regarding my query about Fear Factors use and abuse of snakes . I did ask about this when the issue first came up and have and still do feel a continueing contact with the AHA is in order and that they deserve our support . Take a look at the reply I got . Let me know what you think .

Dear Kevin:
I do recall our conversations regarding the snake challenge on the episode
of "Celebrity Fear Factor." AHA, after months of frustration, has
successfully contacted the production company, Endemol, and opened up a
dialogue with the producers. As yet, we have no assurances from them
regarding the use of animals, but we understand that they plan to contact us
after they have had a chance to consider some of our concerns. We hope to
hear from them soon with a committment to shift the emphasis of contestent
challenges away from the use of live animals. I look forward to contacting
you with a progress report that will ensure the future welfare of the
animals used on the show.

Thank you for your continuing concern.
Regards,
Karen
