Discovery Channel Under Fire for Man-Eating Snake Stunt

According to The Guardian today, over 20,000 people have complained about an upcoming DiscoverTV show (December 7) in which Paul Rosolie dons a “snake-proof suit” and allows himself to be eaten alive by a large anaconda snake.

The Discovery channel has assured viewers that the snake is not harmed in the stunt, but the volume of complaints has prompted them to make an official statement due shortly, possibly involving pulling the show.
