PETA has no warm, fuzzy feelings when it comes to Fox's new sitcom "Animal Control" or its leading man Joel McHale.

On Friday, the animal rights group released a scathing statement claiming the series allegedly exploited animals by featuring live ostriches, dogs, and a ferret in its first episode, which aired Thursday. It also noted that the show teased that a bear would make an appearance in a forthcoming episode.




"Animal Control is a sickening soup of animal exploitation that has PETA questioning whether Joel McHale's been living under a rock," said PETA Foundation Director of Captive Animal Welfare Debbie Metzler.

"He either doesn't know or doesn't care that it's 2023 and that CGI, VFX, and other humane forms of technology should be used, instead of dragging abused animals onto TV and film sets."

"Joel McFail: Animals aren't the key to your comeback, and neither is this sad show."
