Jack Dee eats reindeer skin for survival in Siberia - BBC

[Pvjinflight]

Reindeer meat is good, we eat it in here Finland.

[DaRinNicHa]

I rather die than being in pain!

He didn't disrespect their culture, he is only expressing his feeling toward the act.

I respect him that he did not try to be so as an expert village - out of his way doing something he didn't want to just to gain respect from you guys.

He has been polite enough though, as he was aware of this, he mentioned that and so tasted the skin. He doesn't like it. Fair enough, innit??

And again, I rather be killed than being in pain :--(

i love rain deer meet , my home i miss my home !

[georgiaamanda]

I just can't understand why people are having a go at Jack Dee. These people kill the reindeer because they have to - they can only use the resources available to them. Jack was uncomfortable eating the reindeer skin, & only expressed his own discomfort. He didn't insult their culture, & he's not a "pansy" - he was raised in a western society & isn't used to killing animals, that's the way he was brought up, like the vast majority of people in the UK.

[PsychedelicGuru]

true my friend, btw no we not eat becoz we have to, we have many diferent sourses of food , just its the way we brough up , oit spirutual cultural , tnx for understanding ))

[georgiaamanda]

Sure, I wouldn't eat reindeer personally, but I'm not offended that people do at all. Heck, if I'd lived there all my life, I'd probably love the stuff hehe. So I'm not about to complain about somebody else's culture =]

Very well said novokarpati.

[novokarpati]

Until they do , they will not understand what is the labor and the reward of their own skill or lack of same. we are all ignorant of many things, let us ponder with wisdom, the customs of the ancestors of the ages. idit iz Bohom, za zdrovie, mikhailo

[novokarpati]

some who eat hamburger, steak, etc, etc, are too much pussies to kill, skin, and butcher their own meat. i became a man only after i learned to hunt, and did not pass the job to someone else. Nothing wrong with vegans, IF they don't bust on us who are not, but know how to do for ourselves. Just how many vegans leave the growing up to others, and not raise their own food.

[nightwing1409]

People such as the Sámi and others of their kind and their lifestyle are to be admired and respected.

[nightwing1409]

Im really pissed at some of the stupid culturally insensitive ill-informed comments posted on this topic. These people are living life at one of the most fundamental level, clean, honest and respectful of nature. And then there are the pig ignorant comments from dickheads like Commandor666. My guess is that this is how his ancestors survived while they were running around the plains of Africa 20,000 years ago, but not just his ancestors, all our ancestors.

[santos6662]

I'm a veggie and I do support this because I can see that this animal won't be wasted.

[Alderade19]

so russia?

changing?

[Maraguzzi]

yuk, sucking blood from the antler..

[santos6662]

I know I'll get thumbs down by the brainwashed posse but

Fuck You

[BRAKESUK80]

prick

[ellandroadhero]

i don't understand why you are so offende by that? it's simply a different culture and they are eating meat, even if it is an antler! get off you moral high horse you fool!

[RyanRyzzo]

Look, softie, try to live far north in Siberia. You won't find chip shops there, mate. By the way, the broken antler dangling from its head makes more pain than cutting it off. And the blood drinking from the antler is just a way to get nutrition without having to kill the reindeer.

[deathbymidget12]

what are you trying to say

you are judging them, because they have a different way of life?

the fact that you cant spell a single word, leads me to believe you are either foreign or retarded, does that mean you dont deserve a minute on this planet?

fuck off you cunt

[Cabal77]

Why is there so much negativity towards the act? They didn't kill that first reindeer, they took its broken antler off. Later another reindeer was killed, and obviously they would use it feed and cloth people.

Of course there's still people in the world living with some old ways, and filming and broadcasting it for people to LEARN isn't a bad thing.

[this0033]

I can't understand how a thing like this can be put on here. It is totally obscene and I can't understand Jack Dee allowing himself to be part of it.

[snedie12]

many melenia ago you would have killed your best friend if you was hungry enough. All becuase your mum still tooks you in at night and you have lost all sense of reality it doesn't mean that this is wrong in any way.

[BigOxygenThief]

people shouldnt have morals

[Brandtalones]

Which 19-year-old copy girl dressed him up like that?  That's the "West" overthinking it. "He'll fit right in..."

[vexel06]

For fuck sake. Do you even know Jack dee is? he's a comedian who has a similar style to ricky gervais, so obviously its going to offend some stuck up people.

[peanutbenjamin]

So somehow pumping a cow full of hormones and killing it in a slaughterhouse hundreds of miles away before packing it in nice clinical packages is morally superior to killing for food? Buying cheap clothing made by underpaid labour in the developing world is morally superior to killing an animal for clothing? Extraordinary arrogance. Please look in the mirror long and hard before you criticise others - particularly those who live in cultures & environments so different from your own.

[Bigjohnnywad]

weird foreigners

[B1m]

Jack Dee is cool, you can see he obviously finds it disgusting. Be annoyed at the natives not Jack dee.

love his humour always have.

[tehsn0u]

How idiot can be a man to do that shit? OMG sorry guys but that is so irregular:O

They kill an Reindeer just to eat the skin:O

Fuck off Jack Dee...!!!
