Somebody has already brought that up and it has already been addressed.

Then I don't see the need for this topic to still be continuing.

Other points could still be brought up? Just because he didn't read through previous posts doesn't mean everybody won't.

- The contestants would have been brought food if they were in dire need of it, so they didn't need to kill the pigs/crocodile.
- Therefore it was unnecessary to kill the pigs/crocodile.

Surely that would defy the whole point of the program though? They are on the island to survive with any means possible, it would kind of take the whole "survival" aspect away from the show if every time the contestants face a problem, in comes Bear Grylls on a magical pony to save everyone.

Much worse things happen in the world than a pig or a crocodile being killed, I think the people that are sending in complaints are very much entitled to do so but to me it all just seems wasteful. Do something better with your time than holding up signs to show everyone how 'wrong' it was, it has already happened. Move on.

Maybe Prohibit was right considering that has already been addressed too.
Bear could have put plant-life around the island for them to find and eat. That would still be survival.

People don't hold signs up to show how wrong it was so that maybe time could be reversed and it could be prevented.
They do it to stop it from happening again.

I understand that he could have put plants and such around the island for them to eat but is that really that entertaining? Watching people walk around for hours at a time searching for a plant that 'looks healthy' but in reality could kill you doesn't sound very survival-like to me. Plus, what would happen when the plants that he planted ran out? Surely then they would have to resort to the killing of an animal, well, that or they could just bust out their flip phone that completely defies the survival aspect of the program.

Obviously I understand that. I'm just saying that it's already done. It has happened, and do you think those people holding those signs have actually changed anything? Same with all the people writing complaints. What are they actually accomplishing? As we speak I'm sure many different animals are being slaughtered in much more horrific ways.

I don't understand why the people protesting feel the need to take their time to make their silly little puns about Bear Grylls when they could actually be doing something productive with their time. Take a shot at KFC or another large fast-food company that treats animals in a disgraceful way. Each to their own I guess.

I've actually only just read the sign about torturing animals and how it is not entertaining and I'd just like to make a point about it. I don't actually know whether it's previously been said though.

The people on the show are not experts in killing animals, they are people much like you or I. In this case it is obvious that they did not torture the animals. They killed them because they needed to. Nothing that they did to the pig or animal would be considered torture because it wasn't purposeful.

The show represents what it would be like to be stranded and if normal people could survive which in my opinion is a good idea for a programme because most people would not survive as long as some due to how everything we need to survive for most people is easily obtained. And For the people who say its cruel to kill animals yes it is in a way but if you were in a real life situation where it was your life or an animals you would choose to kill an eat the animal to survive as the need to stay alive far outweighs what you think is right or wrong.

So watching animals get killed is entertaining? That's essentially what you're saying when you say that them looking for plant-life wouldn't be entertaining.
And I really don't care if it wouldn't be entertaining, if people get their kicks watching animals get killed then I don't care about how entertained they are.

As for them looking for plants that 'look healthy but could kill you' they had a couple of days training which could have included which food to eat and how to prepare it.
Also, why are people so concerned about the safety of the contestants when it comes to them eating plants, but not them fishing rocky shores or killing a live crocodile which could have tore their limbs off?

In this case it is obvious that they did not torture the animals. They killed them because they needed to.

Their lack of training would go towards the idea that they did torture the animals, intentionally or not [torture as a verb just means to inflict severe pain on something.]
They didn't need to kill them for the reasons above.
