Yes I know mate, but the bear wouldnt be making a TV programme he would have to do it to survive. These characters arent really starving, they have probably 50 film crew around them and tons of food. If that was the only thing they had to eat then fair enough, but I doubt that was the case.
it's not, it's doing it in the name of entertainment that's my issue
Problem here is that the clip is really taken out of context if you haven't watched the whole episode.
Sure it was filmed and televised, but there was a scientific background (admittedly weak) to the "experiment".
They were seeing if a modern human could adapt and survive if thrown back to basic tooled caveman hunter gatherers.
I say weak as obviously there are many many parts of the world were we as a species do, but this was swept over by focusing on a "modern" person adapting.
Sure there were doctors and no doubt food sitting there in standby, but it seemed from the program editing at least that they were genuinely hungry and had only eaten what they had hunted or gathered.
To the point where this whinging women walked off.
Personally i think it offered extremely thin scientific value, it wasn't even THAT entertaining, but still i think many on here would find it interesting enough to watch.
Morally to be honest i don't really care.
That may sound bad, but honestly i eat meat, so i have absolutely no idea if the cow, pig, sheep etc suffered in the abattoir before it died.
Having had a summer working in a abattoir as a kid, most folks would be disgusted how non-effective current killing methods are, and even if the methods are good, you can imagine that this is not that sort of job that attracts the most caring or professional of person (being very poorly paid).
Add to that the fact that although when i've hunted and fished i've made a concious attempt to reduce suffering and make a quick kill, i've still missed on occasion or foul hooked a fish, so for me to complain about the animal suffering is pretty hypocritical at best.
