Anaconda eating a person alive on camera is the greatest stunt ever watched on television. It sure made anyone horrified at such attempt. The premiere episode of Discovery Channel's Eaten Alive featured an Amazon consevationist and snake expert named Paul Rosolie wearing a protective outfit, a carbon-fiber suit actually, who would offer himself to be eaten alive by no less than an anaconda but that he would not be killed in the process. His protective suit would let him survive the snake's dangerous constriction. This was all done in the Amazon rainforest where he bathed in a pig's blood to attract the snake and then be consumed by its powerful jaws into its stomach and possibly be regurgitated for anacondas are known to do that when they don't like the food they swallow. But weeks before the show aired, while still being promoted to great heights, there were lots of concerns raised especially by the animal rights group PeTA or People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. The group disaspproved the show claiming it may do some harm to the snake and people also are concerned for Paul who will be in a very dangerous situation during his stunt. The show went on its airing but with much disappointment. Paul was never eaten alive, they say, but only his head was swallowed giving us a view of what's inside the snake's mouth. It never went further for he called for help when he felt it was too much for him to endure. He felt his arm was draining with blood and it was about to snap, t hat was why he called for the emergency team on standby. And within minutes after that disappointing airing, people were complaining and bashing the show for it never delivered the promise of being eaten alive and possibly regurgitated alive. What was much-hyped television special was a lie after all as most viewers felt. But before these criticisms go any further, we have to take note that such a stunt is very dangerous in every way. But it was a good try, so in the near future we will see a stunt guy who can be really eaten alive by a huge snake with cameras all over his body possibly, videoing every second of it so that viewers will see what exactly happens to anything being eaten alive and possibly regurgitated alive without doing harm to both the snake and the person. The only criticism should be that Paul was never eaten alive. He was just swallowed a little bit. Watch the video below.
