In a bizarre bid for TV rating , the Discovery Channel has announced an upcoming specialEaten Alive , in which a wildlife filmmaker in a “ snake - proof ” suit will supposedly creep inside a resilient Eunectes murinus . Uh … does the anaconda get a say in this ?

Paul Rosolie has agreed to dive into a ophidian ’s hole for the saki of telly halo . That ’s all well and good , but will this stunt of his harm the snake ? The very concept reeks of animal victimisation ; after all , there are less encroaching ways to look inside an anaconda ’s digestive parcel of land . There ’s very piffling information on the Discovery internet site about the particulars ( some ethnic music initially go for this was a hoax , but some promotional information does appear on the channel ’s website ) , althougha teaserfor the special suggest that it has already been filmed .

Rosolie has already received literary criticism for the stunt from folks who believe that this is an act of creature mercilessness , causing physical and emotional distress to the ophidian for no good reason . Rosolie has responded with the following tweet :
If u know me – I would never hurt a living thing . But you ’ll have to watch#EatenAliveto find out how it goes down!http://t.co / QvxZO2dS3V
