If there was enough food to feed gargantuan crocodiles I guess http://awesci.com/crocodiles-do-not-die/

@booboo or this one quite relevant today
- The Fisher Protocol:
Leaders are often detached from the consequences of their decisions. Roger Fisher suggested implanting the country’s nuclear codes into a volunteer. To launch nukes, the President would have to personally kill the volunteer and thereby confront reality.
