Well they could have eaten the same meal as the huge production crew, cameramen, sound men and Uncle Tom Cobbly that were there with them. On that basis the croc died needlessly save for the purposes of the programme. Therefore solely entertainment.
no production crew, cameramen, soundmen or uncle anything there with them. They have been given cameras to film themselves
Lol. Yeah right.
Its true. In the first episode they explained that 3 of the blokes had been given a crash course in using and maintaining the cameras. The whole group had also had a crash course in basic survival techniques....how to start a fire, finding and preparing drinkable water, what fruits of the island to avoid etc. All they have are the clothes they stand in, 3 machetes, 2 knives...and probably a radio to call base in an emergency.
Now I know a number of you won't believe it....but until proved otherwise these are the only facts we can go on about the show. Of course they wouldn't let them starve etc but they are prepared to leave them unassisted for as long as possible. One thing is for certain, they were fuckin' starving when they caught, killed and ate that Caimen.
I thought there was a link posted on this thread saying the caiman was released onto the island by the producers so that they'd have some food.
I think I'm on the side of the people who think it's OK, but I don't watch this kind of program. I think I'd die very quickly in that sort of situation, but I'd prefer that to having to call myself something like Tiger Growly.
For the benefit of anyone who didn't watch tonight but would like to get offended/upset/disgusted-they killed and ate a wounded seabird, it may have been a cormorant

This lot are sick in the head,wounded seabirds,crocks shackled up to broom sticks. What next?

Anyone been watching The Island? Not very nice viewing when they are killing stuff. To kill two sleeping piglets in the name of TV is bang out of order.
On a plus note, the jock bird has a cracking set on her

Just the sort of behaviour you'd expect from a public school toff like Grylls though.

To summarise; you don't think pigs should be killed while sleeping and potentially, not killed for food, and the best insight you have into the show is the size of someone's tits?

You are assuming that I said not for food. I said it was not very nice to watch, after they spent a couple of shows showing them cuddling them as pets etc. It was all done for the cameras.
The comment about the tits was a factual statement.
Have been avidly watching this run of the Island after my Mrs suggested we started watching it. Think we're a couple of episodes away from finishing the series on catch up! The northern fella has been cracking me up.
Have to agree with robroy and his factual statement above

Think you need to chill out Jimmy
No assumption made - hence 'potentially'! Still waiting for some insight beyond breast size, but I wouldn't say that winds me up.
The 2 pigs that get slaughtered were both sedated and placed to be found - the piglets were pets - PETA (I think) went mad over it and the producers apologised.
Additionally the Croc that got caught (genuinely caught as far as I read) was not a common or garden Cayman after all. It was an endangered American Crocodile and the producers offered to replace it - how do you 'replace' an animal from an endangered species ?
It was frankly awful on both Islands but the girls were totally useless.

Hope none of you enjoyed a BBQ this weekend, wouldn't want to know animals died for your fun

The incompetence is quite funny to watch.
Who would have thought that your priorities are to light a fire and find a source of water?
How many times at the end of the day would they try to light a fire as night falls !!!
6 weeks in and the women are sleeping on the floor still !!!

Shape was cracking too.
