I would guess that given the nature of Bill's job he simply couldn't resist trying to discover what Uma was up to. He should have become suspicious however when the location turned out to be in the middle of nowhere. He basically walked into a trap.

You'd think after being tricked into attending a fake emergency call in Circus Bill would ge a lot more cautious about invites to somewhere unknown!

They gleefully show it as a form of entertainment. As if people should enjoy watching one animal hunt, kill, and rip apart it's carcass just as if they're watching a drama or comedy show. It's perfectly possible to show plenty of footage of positive and beautiful parts of nature, as all the different animals scurry about with their day.

That's the reason why I stopped watching wildlife documentaries. :(
