Cursing on TV

Humans use certain words when they are angry, but because these words are used to show anger, some humans get offended by hearing them. You can compare curses with canine growling.

Sometimes, people curse on TV, but in the USA, the broadcasting companies censor the curses out by putting beeping sounds over them on the soundtrack. There is an American TV show where lower class Americans come and fight over lovers et cetera, it is called Jerry Springer after its host. Paula and Daniel watches it occasionally when they have no better things to do. The funny thing is, the dialogue sometimes consist almost entirely of beeps.

I wonder what they would do if a dog came to the show and growled? Would they put beeps over the growling? Dogs watching the show on TV can be offended otherwise. Well, I would rather watch Animal Planet anyway.
