Bear Grylls just killed a Boa!!

.....on Man vs Wild not 2 minutes ago....a very big BCI.

Now that I have it out there....react.

I personally think it was a horrible choice. I realize it is a survival show, as I watch it pretty often....but to kill a top predator in a community, I disagree with. That was probably a 5+ year old snake, if not 10....to kill something that is semi-rare that far North (Belize), and has survived that long without much/any threat of future predation...I feel it is wrong.

In his other shows he often takes lower animals, rodents, birds, etc....prey animals, not top predators.

He's killed a half dozen or so snakes, monitors, etc.

I've seen him kill Carpet Pythons, King Snakes, Rat Snakes, Garter Snakes, etc.

Oh well, it's hunting.

I want to see him take down something a little faster and more elusive.. like making a bow and some arrows, or maybe a spear, to take out wild pigs or deer.

I suppose that when you are starving and stranded, you got to eat something.

[JAMills]

Yep seen him eat several snakes on several continents. Though watching him eat the basically live snake had to be the worst! He just took off it's head and put it's squirming body in his mouth. WOW!

It's a show about survival. He kills/eats what he can.

[ThyTempest]

He is not surviving....he is making a tv show. Obviously, I place human life above that a snake, but seriously guys....this is for entertainment....sorry but I dont find humans killing top predators for entertainment entertaining. I have seen him kill what I would call "lower" snakes....snakes that have predators such as hawks, eagles, bigger snakes, etc....I don't know of any predator that preys on adult boa constrictors.

I don't know of any predator that preys on adult boa constrictors.

Maybe not eagles or anything but Bear does!

All kidding aside, I stopped watching those shows after I saw them kill animals for no reason. Eating plants and fresh zebra kills and eyes from dead sheep I can understand... but I think the show has become more about doing crazy things in order to survive than actually surviving.

Don't worry, karma caught up to him.

I guess that when you make a living lying to people and giving bad advise it tends to do that.

I do not wish Eddy any ill will. I do not want to see anyone hurt. But I do believe that what goes around comes around.

To bad his show is fake half the time and instead of killing these animals he could just tell you that you could eat that. Take a look at these

YouTube - Bear Grylls is a Fake

YouTube - Man vs. Hotel: Bear Grylled

That other guy is what you should be watching.
