All those shows on like discovery channel say that when an elk or something gets snatched by like a lion when its being eaten alive, that its brain releases chemicals so the animal doesnt experience the agony of being eaten at alive. Is that true?

How long do you think it'll be before you stop experiencing pain and horror as you are being fed to a tree clipper? This is a stupid question. It's true that animals will go into shock, but big deal, it only lasts a short time before you lose consciousness and die. A tiger can pull our your guts, and you can remain alive and in agony for quite a long time before you finally go into shock. That used to be an old English torture-execution method, you know?

Although the pain might be mitigated by the endorphins, I think the horror of knowing you were being eaten alive would be unbearable.

The animal will feel pain at first until it's body goes into shock.

Hm, I always imagined the pain would be unbelieveable. I've never heard the shock thing, but I definitely believe it.
