I would.

I hate when they kill any animal just for entertainment. To me it's almost the same as dog fighting. Sure, these shows teach you what to do in these situations, but dog fighting, in an abstract way, teaches you about dog psychology and criminal subculture. I know it's not quite the same, but...

I think we need a show to tell the public how to identify snakes and how to handle them. It doesn't take all that much thought to figure out how to kill and eat a snake. I miss Steve Irwin. :/

Bottom line, it was an unnecessary and definitely wasteful death. At least feed it to a dog or something...

I would. And if you're going to call someone a hypocrite, make it all those people who think it's fine to air this but unacceptable to air the killing of a stray dog or cat.

I haven't seen Survivor in years, but from what I remember they were all so starved that they would eat anything they could catch. I think they may have trapped and eaten a few snakes, I know they were eating any kind of sea creature they could catch and it was a big deal whenever they got a decent size animal.
