OT: Anybody watch tonight's Survivor?

They found these beautiful giant Triacnid clams and were eating them. They said they tasted great. Broke my heart to see.
Not to mention how much they could have sold for in the aquarium trade.

Not good.
I hope they get food poisoning.

Hollywood...Go figure. I did not see it, but I can imagine...They scream about tang harvesting in Hawaii, but they eat these awesome clams for ratings.

What hypocrisy...

Lynn, you should write the network and tell them how you feel. Better yet, post a letter on here and maybe we can sign it and all send it to the network.

Lynn do you mean Tridacna Clams? Did not see it.

lcstorc · 02-14-2008, 10:18 PM

I seriously doubt a letter would make a difference particularly since they are a common food in some cultures. Apparently they are consumed in large numbers in Japan and some other countries. Usually those are smaller than the ones on the show but still the same animal.

i totally understand the concern, but you have to remember these guys for one are basically surviving on their own. I would probably have eaten it to if there was nothing else to eat even though i love them as an ocean species. and you have to understand that cultures out there are so different then ours. some look at us and think of us in disgust because we eat cow, or pig, or something like that and we look at them in horror because they eat what they eat. the world is very diverse and some of these cultures have probably done this for many many years. probably longer then america has been america.

Sorry I don't watch the show...I was working off the premise that these people on survivor are not from Singapore, Japan, China, or the Pacific Ocean...but are playing a game.
