PETA has cried foul, saying it was unnecessary to kill the animals, since the castaways could easily survive on a vegetarian diet. The producers of the program have responded by pointing out that there s never been anything wrong with killing and eating animals for food, especially when you re trying to survive on a primitive island. But here CBS has missed the point. The survivors actually they are contestants aren t really stranded on the island. There s a camera crew with them all the time, and producers fly to and from the remote island frequently.
Nobody s in danger of starving.
Not at all , in fact. I d head on the Today show earlier. It s not often that PETA and I agree on things. This time we do. On some occasions, the killing of animals is necessary.
