Well you for start . As to backbone, I think I've had enough running battles on here of which you are al too aware. If the cap fits wear it. Maybe a nice SS one.

I have heard of scops being sold in the trade that have had the stinger clipped.

Usually the DWA species.

Anyone else know how prevelant this is?

no sorry and he's a prick

That to me was just plain cruelty... nowt else, If the scorpion was humanely killed before hand and was used in some form of cooking...perhaps i would view it differently...but to torment it first, then cut off its sting before chewing it was very unprofessional indeed. Just hope he tackle's some other creature that gets its own back on him and crunches him good and proper.

Perhaps someone who voted 'yes' can come back, make a case for why they voted that way (without being judged..)

My kids watch B.G born survivor all the time and i often have to look away. He"s even drunk squeezed out elephant dung before. Know something - id loose weight if i stayed with him. Oh! and by the way. I voted a big NO!!!!

I am assuming that this silly sounding name is just something made up for tv?

What is he actually qualified in?

I know that he is on tv a fair bit, just trying to figure out what precise 'niche' he fills...

Criticism

Following allegations that the show deceived viewers into believing that he was really stranded in the wild when he wasn't, Channel 4 temporarily suspended the show. Discovery aired re-edited episodes, designed to remove elements that were considered too planned, with a fresh voiceover, and has continued to broadcast the programme.
An adviser to the Man vs. Wild/Born Survivor series had claimed that Grylls had been staying at a California motel while filming. A crossing of a deep crevass was shown to be just yards from a busy highway. Similarly, it was alleged that Grylls had stayed at a crew base-camp in the Costa Rican jungle, while giving viewers the impression that he was alone. These allegations were confirmed by Channel 4, who argued that it wasn't a documentary, but a 'how-to' guide to survival, implying that 'faked' or re-shot scenes were acceptable in that context.

He was born Edward Michael Grylls, but legally changed his name to his secondary school nickname: Bear

Well, i think theres a difference between the chickens and this.

We eat chix to sustain ourself and absorb sufficient nutrients.. thats neccessity. Though i agree by definition it IS cruel aswell

bear has eaten that scorp for ratings..not neccessity. Its pure cruelty, hes a tit, i hope he dies, i hope something bites his tiny little dick and totally necroses it and he dies a excrusiatingly painful, slow and drawn out death in which he cannot pee, cant use his dick to transfer his fetid genetics before his horribly painful slow drawn out and totally satisfying death.
Hes a scourge to all that live and after some of the things hes done, i honestly hope he dies.... horribly

As for the argument about being veggie...thats sOOOOOOOOO 80s..

We eat meat because it gives us important nutrients we cant get from plant material.
Those suppliments veggies take? yep... you guessed it 'suppliments' because the vegitarian diet does not contain sufficient nutrients to sustain us.
Veggie diets RARELY if ever work in the long run, it can be very damaging to the body.

Show me a true diet with NO supliments and then i may be a worthwhile decision.
I do not feel its cruel to kill to survive otherwise we should hold animal cruelty protests agaisnt all those predatory animals... and essentially us..
I do think that we do it wrong, we shouldnt raise our food the ways we do, its more hassle and less benefitial. In an ideal world our families would raise their own food, and kill it humanely and use it all, but unfortunately in our superstore culture, its not going to happen taht way.
I will be raising my own chickens once i have a stable home. Maybe if i have the room, some pigs as well... I wouldnt be to kill it myself but i would ensure it was done humanely by someone i know.
