    Oh dear it seems they couldn't!

    It was still killed for food and not to make handbags or whatever. Do you object to them hunting and killing fish for food?

    No time. the heat on the island meant that the meat went off very quickly. They might think about doing so if they go hunting for a croc again so can be prepared

    Here's one for you...

    How do you know if someone's a vegetarian? Don't worry, they'll tell you...

    The premise is that if they were not making this show, then no caiman would have been killed.

    You are trying to argue the food angle like it's a necessity when in fact making this programme is not a necessity.

    The men's island is SO boring compared to the women's. Having to fill about a third of the episode up with talk about going for a s**t? And the guy who doesn't stop talking is unbelievably grating.

    It was a protected species. Killed for an entertainment reality show.

    If you don't go on holiday to Spain for example, where you eat in a restaurant, effectively no animal will be killed to put the food on your plate.

    Hey ho $hit happens.

    I won't be clicking any DM links.

    Anyway, I really enjoyed the last 10 minutes or so of that when they found the Croc right up to the titles, sat here with a permagrin.

    Good, it was all worth it then! All to put a big grin on your face.

    That's reality TV for you.

    Maybe this program is not the sort of thing you should be watching? A survival program is always going to be about surviving! Whatever the costs.

    But how were they to know it was protected? Entertainment show or not, they were actually hungry, not acting, and if you are that hungry you will eat anything edible you find.

    It's been replaced according to the Independent.
    On the upside they can't accuse Bear of planting it or drugging it so it was easier for them to catch.
    Secondary upside it's improved the data on where the American Crocodile lives, apparently the experts told Bear that there weren't any American Crocodiles on the Island.

    Agouti should be next on the list if they find them.

    I'm surprised they didn't cure the meat with salt - they could have got it from boiled seawater and then they wouldn't have had to waste so much.

    Couldn't they have made jerky out of the meat like they did in that other series 10,000 BC?
    Then it's dried out and they can store it.

    Temperature was cold on that show. Not hot.

    Looks like women are going to find pigs and probably not kill for food then!

    I'd kill a golden horned unicorn if I was hungry enough. It was a crocodile on some deserted island.

    Not to mention the men didn't have the faintest idea they were killing anything other than what they'd been told they could...
