I am glad David Attenborough has spoken up about this. People will listen to him. He himself, drew criticism a few years ago for allowing scenes of animals hunting and killing other animals for food. But that is a wholly different scenario. He was portraying the animals in their natural environment.
Bear Grylls goes too far. I question some of his "survival" techniques as well, and think that some, or maybe a large portion of what he does is sensational for the sake of it. I think he started out well, and went wrong. Maybe it's yet another case of success breeding a form of decadence? Humans seem prone to that unless they are very true to decent principles.
But it is the producers of such shows who are to blame really. Yes they care more about the shock factor raising viewing ratings, than anything else. Just greed again.
