Extremely po'ed

So I am watching that show Man vs Wild on discovery with Bear Grylls. I just watched him club a good 8-10ft long boa constrictor to death in the head so he could gut him and eat him! Now don't get me wrong, I can understand if you're in dire need of surviving, but for the most part it has been proven that Man vs. Wild is not as "real" as it is supposed to be, and he definitely was not in need of food enough to do something like that. I know it is a show intended to show what you could do in times of need, but i don't think it's absolutely necessary to go that far...sorry about my rant but that just really annoyed me. He just walked up on the snake that was bothering noone and killed it, brutally i have to say.

Did you see the one where he brained a water monitor against a tree?

here is the link to what I just watched, check it out

no, i didn't. I like the show but that makes me mad, like I said he's not in dire need of doing something like that, it is uneccesary

how about the one when he smacked the olive python against the side of the rock wall after handling it for about a half hour

That is pretty awful, but what does this have to do with ball python husbandry?

Yep I don't watch that show, he's such a phony, wish they drop him in the middle of the amazon, no crew, just his pocket knife, his flint and a helmet cam

oh, sorry. crap I didn't even realize where I had posted it, if anyone can move it and wants to feel free.

Bear Grylls is an idiot. That's IMHO.

BTW, there's already a thread on the boa incident... I think it's called

"Bear Grylls just killed a Boa!" :)
