LOS ANGELES (AP) — The slaughter of a pig on Survivor: The Australian Outback was condemned as gratuous and cruel by animal rights groups.
Survivor angers animal activists
On the Thursday episode of the CBS reality show, a knife-wielding player stabbed the wild pig to death and provided a source of food for hungry contestants. They also ate chicken after winning a challenge that rewarded them with three chickens and a rooster.
The slaughter, which was preceded by a viewer advisory, included shots of Michael Skupin of White Lake, Mich, holding a bloody knife and footage of the dead pig. The stabbing was not shown.
"I feel better about my position now that I've made this kill." a gleeful Skimp said in the episode.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said it was outraged by what it called "escalating" violence toward animals on the CBS show. Last year, the group criticized the first Survivor when contestants dined on roasted rat.
Contestants are left to fend for themselves in the Australian wild, deciding which team members are popular or valuable enough to stay in the game. The last player left will collect $1 million.
The Associated Press
Wayne Pacelle, a senior president of The Humane Society of the United States, said the animal "died and suffered for entertainment purposes masquerading as 'hunting and gathering.'"
PETA suggested that a tame pig might have been deliberately placed in harm's way to stage the killing and asked CBS to preserve an unedited videotape relating to the episode.
Aprohibition on acts of animal cruelty should be among the rules governing reality television, Pacelle said Friday.
CBS denied the incident was staged and defended the broadcast.
"We firmly believe that our viewers recognize that hunting and fishing as a means of sustenance have been acceptable since the dawn of time," the network said in a statement Friday.
CBS said the show had given exposure to the point of view of vegetarians and animal rights supporters through contestant Kimmi Kappenberg of Ronkonkoma, N.Y., who has opposed meat-eating by other players.
