Animal Activists Condemn Pig Killing on 'Survivor'

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A graphic display of a wild pig being

slaughtered on the latest episode of the hit CBS reality series

``Survivor'' has animal lovers seeing red, even as the show skewered the

competition on Thursday night.

 

Before showing the scene reminiscent of something out of William

Golding's " Lord of the Flies, " CBS flashed a cautionary message to TV

viewers nationwide: " The following scene contains material that may be

unsuitable for young viewers. Viewer discretion is advised. "

 

Viewers then saw members of the Kucha tribe close in on a wild pig,

which is stabbed repeatedly by knife-wielding software publisher Michael

Skupin until it dies.
