Bear Grylls will eat anything with legs or tentacles when he’s in the wilderness for one of his Born Survivor episodes, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be microwaving rats or sprinkling salt on woodlice at home.

Or that he enjoys killing animals or wants to tick off activists.

In fact, he’s ran a sanctuary for the same creatures he may consume.

“I love animals,” Grylls told the UK Daily Post. “I’ve run an animal sanctuary up in Wales, and it’s a big part of my life, and wildlife is, and so I’m animal crazy, at the same time I do a show, they’re showing people how to survive if their life really is on the line.”

“We always make sure if we are killing something, it’s killed very fast, and it’s all eaten.”

Less painful slaughter, waste not.

Grylls’ wacky, extreme tactics may be just a good lesson on empathy and environmentalism.

What is a semi-vegetarian? And what does a semi-vegetarian eat at home? These questions burn away at our inquisitive minds, but we do know that these part-time vegetarians are confusing.

Bear Grylls is known on television for showing the world how you can survive in the most horrid conditions with ways such as extracting water from animal feces and gnawing down on raw flesh straight from the wilderness. However, at home, he admits to less carnivorous (and grossorous) eating habits.

The details of his semi-vegetarianism remain unclear, but anything beats his television diet of carcass surrounded by flies.
