If you watched Tennessee Tuxedo, you saw numerous episodes where zookeeper Stanley Livingston is cruel and abusive to Tennessee and Chumley after such crimes as wrecking the zoo train and stealing the wallpaper for his office. Does anyone think he's guilty of animal abuse?

OMG . I thought you meant Stanley Livingston the actor who played Chip on My Three Sons when I first saw your post!!

Glad that's not who you meant. I would not have imagined him to be abusive to animals. He was so good to the family dog , Tramp.

I had to check this out for that reason, too.

I'm not too familiar with the cartoon, so I don't remember the character. All I remember is Don Adams did one of the voices.

There was a scene where Stanley physically kicked Tennessee and Chumley out of his office. Even though it's only a cartoon. It's still considered animal abuse.

Yeah, it's the same kind of thing that caused the uproar with Pepé Le Pew.
