Wildlife expert to be 'eaten alive' by anaconda

[Doomsday101]

Naturalist Paul Rosolie believes "you have to go head first." What he's referring to is shoving his head into the mouth of an anaconda, letting it swallow him, and filming the experience for a Discovery Channel special called Eaten Alive, News.com.au reports.
According to the Discovery Channel's blurb on the show, which premieres Dec. 7, the 26-year-old will enter "the belly of an anaconda in a custom-built snake-proof suit"; he's shown in a preview video wearing it with an emergency line attached to his ankle, the Independent reports.

Wildlife advocates are calling Rosolie's TV experiment cruel. "#EatenAlive is disgusting. Why put an animal under so much trauma? All for the wonder of live tv," says one miffed tweeter.
But Rosolie, a wildlife filmmaker who works with anacondas in the Amazon, says his mission is to protect the creatures. "If u know me—I would never hurt a living thing. But you'll have to watch # EatenAlive to find out how it goes down," he tweeted.

We humans are becoming so sad. Perhaps he'll tweet while in the belly of the beast.

Reminds me of the guy a few years ago, what was his name? Grizzly Man?
Thought he could co-exist and domesticate grizzly bears.

Play stupid games...
Win stupid prizes...........

Let him get eaten by a Honey Badger. The Honey Badger don't give a.....

Don't anacondas constrict like pythons and boas? Not sure how he protects against that unless he plans on this snake swallowing a suit of armor.

Maybe his custom made snake proof suit will fail, and we will be able to watch him being digested all the way to the end of the gastrointestinal tract experience. I say if you are going to be taken out, take your murderer with you.

The anacondas don't want none unless you got buns, hun.

How does he plan on getting out, short of cutting open and killing the snake? This is deplorable. He says this is being done to protect them? I don't see how anything learned from this can be used to protect them. This is only being done for disgusting shock value/entertainment.
