Have I missed something or is it as simple as that - he killed a baby Croc for TV?
If so the guys an idiot. I've always found him pretty good, if slightly cringey. His programme in Morocco about French Foreign Legion wasn't too bad though.
Still - surely a member of the production staff shouldve stopped him and told him he's crossed the mark? Anything for a few more viewers nowadays, ridiculous. I guess this stunt was for "the shock factor"; obviously drinking your own piss isnt good enough now!
sniff... I am traumatised by the mental image of mummy and daddy crocodile AND all his little brothers and sisters wandering aimlessly the swamp shouting "Eric...Eric, where are you?"
Saw this and thought it a bit unnecessary as well. Surely congratulate them on catching it, then free it and reward them with food instead of killing the poor thing.
I hate seeing animals killed for entertainment. I haven't seen this though, so I'm not sure of the context. I don't remember people complaining about him before though, I can remember seeing him kill at least one frog and a couple of snakes - probably more if I wrack my brain. Is there something special about crocodiles that makes this one worse?
Personally I hate (not that I ever watch) the idea of the bush tucker trials on, 'I'm a low grade c-lister desperate for some exposure'. If anything projects the idea that other animals are without value and shouldn't be treated with respect, it is that.
And no, for the record I'm not a veggie. Not that I understand the relevance of that.
Is that's the croc one of them done in the canister with a blade? I think I saw this. one of the geek squad was eating it saying it tasted like a chicken shish
Shame Steve Irwin isn't around he would of given grylls a slap
Animals get slaughtered everyday for us to eat! How is this any different???? They still ate the animal! It's all part of the food chain! If it wasn't this animal it would be another, it's just we wouldn't see it getting killed in such graphic detail
I went to some Indian take away down eltham They had crocodile on the menu. I asked them where it came from, Local produce of course, always local produce!,
Yeah cause the river quaggy is famous for its crocodile meat...

Reward them with food that someone else has killed?
@Stig the Croc wasn't killed for entertainment. There's a program where a bunch of modern man have been put on a remote island with a days survival training and have to survive a month.
They have no food or water, it's proper survival. The point of it is to show how modern man has lost touch with his survival instincts and appreciation of just how easy our lives are.
The Croc.incident comes after these guys have not eaten for a week and they end up catching and killing a Croc to eat.
Bear grylls narrates the program. The reason I said about.the veggie thing is because bear grylls makes a great point about all our meat being pre packaged upon shelves which we just put in our trolleys without actually considering the harsh reality that the meat was a live animal that was slaughtered for us to eat. These guys have done no different. If you were a veggie with moral reasons as to why you didn't agree with the slaughter of animals for human food then I could accept the outrage at the program.
If however one does eat meat then I find it a little hypocritical

They were carrying it round with all fours strapped up to a broom stick. They mugged him right off. Poor little critter Irwin would be turning in his grave if he had seen that.
Was a proper bully movement strapping it up like that. Couldn't express themselves and fight it one on one could they, give the poor sod half a chance,

But it was for a bloody TV show and was therefore needless, IMO.
He also didn't kill the Croc, the people on his show did
"Crocodile sandwich and make it snappy!"
Boom!

May I remind you Jamie oliver is pushing 20 stone.
Is.everyone that feels sorry for the Croc a veggie?

[This might or might not be true I just know that crocs scare the living shit out of me]
