The bite of the komodo is pretty much a death sentence. Apparently some people don't know that. I think we should send them to the islands and let them put those poor animals out of their misery. Two birds with one stone.

lol at the yuppies crying fowl in the comments.

It's nature. Shit like that happens because it HAS to happen, happens every second somewhere on Earth.
The concept of intervening is just comical. Aww, poor animal, why did it have to die? Well, another animal was hungry. Humane treatment is something that doesn't and never happens in nature, outside of things humans do.

My favorite was people saying why didn't he kill the deer, why not go up and break its neck to put it out of its misery?

Yeah, I'm sure your average tourist can snap a deer's neck no problem. Especially when it's being feasted upon by a giant lizard that can give you a festering wound bad enough to kill.

Armchair quarterbacks - "Get in there and kill the deer man! Have you no humanity!"

My only complaint about the video is the quality sucked. I'd like to see that in BBC Documentary crew HD,slowmo,etc.
