Michael tells Howard Stern that the pig wasn’t drugged; says killing was humane.
Michael told Howard Stern on Monday (scroll down to 3/5/01, 8:50 a.m.) that the pig he stabbed and killed was not drugged, and said that the hunt actually took about two hours. Elsewhere, Michael said that the killing broadcast on Survivor 2 that angered animal rights activists and others, including cast member Kimmi, was done humanly: “I absolutely killed that pig in as humanely a manner as I possibly could.” Michael also told the AP that he does not “harbor any grudges for anybody for what their beliefs are. But I have my belief system and I hope they respect mine.”
