hi dutchess---ive got to admit,yes,i did find monday night's 'life' upsetting to some extent. if an animal has to be killed by another for food,i'd rather it was immediate with as little suffering as possible to the prey. like you,i fear the water buffulo would merely have collapsed out of exhaustion and been eaten alive----i doubt the komodo dragons would have rendered it unconscious first as lions etc appear to do with their catch. witnessing this whole incident,at length,was obviously harrowing for the film crew.
still---it wont put me off watching other episodes.
(ooer...maybe im not a bunny-hugger after all
)
