[b][/b]ANGER AT TEDDY GILLS AFTER EATING ENDAGERED SPECIES[b][/b]
Minister for the Environment Mattia Firzelli, has led criticism of tv's renound survival expert, Teddy Gills "needless destruction of life", after Mr Gills killed and ate an Olm during one of his recent shows.
The olm, a foot-long salamander nicknamed “the human fish” because of its fleshy skin and tubular shape, is certainly a strange-looking animal. But beneath the surface, they’re even weirder: Olms can live for 100 years, far longer than any other amphibian.
However, this was one amphibian that was not going to last that long, as during a demonstration of how to survive in the cave systems of the Northern Slovenian county of Sancourana, Mr Gills found one and ate it.
Desrcibing it as a rare delicacy, Mr Grills seemed unaware of the truth of his statement.
It also left a foul taste in the mouth of Mattia Firzelli, the minister of environment stating "This is an outrage. I cannot believe that Mr Gills went behind our backs, in destroying such a beautiful and rare creature. Mr Gills was not in an emergency situation and therefore did not need to kill it."
Mr Firzelli went on to advice visitors to the cave systems to bring a packed lunch.
