Peppa Pig Episode Banned in Australia

In 2017, the Peppa Pig episode "Mister Skinnylegs" was pulled from Australian airwaves after being deemed misleading and potentially dangerous-since it reassured children that spiders "can't hurt you" despite Australia's abundance of venomous species. This prompted backlash from parents who argued the message was inappropriate for local audiences, especially after a real 2016 incident showing a huntsman spider dragging a mouse up a fridge.
