Animal planet aggrivates me..
I dont know if im the only one but Animal Planet has been ticking me off lately. Want to know why? Animal Planet is what made me have my passion for all animals and herps since i was 3. But now i feel like their shows make a negative impact on some animals. I used to watch shows that educated people about snakes, herps, inverts, ect. Steve, Jeff or whoever showed that these animals were usually harmless and very interesting. Now all i see is shows like Infested, Rattlesnake Republic, Cant beat em eat em, "this animal almost killed me" and all this other garbage that scares people. How can a house be "infested" with snakes that are not even venomous and pose no threat? Why show a program of senselessly killing animals for entertainment or for their skin? And killing animals for food when no one even eats them just "to try"? I dont know but i feel like these shows are going to contribute to why our pets are being banned by the goverment. Animal planet is just scaring people with no facts or respect for certain animals just for ratings. Seriously a year or two back there was a episode of a mother finding a ball python wrapped around her babys leg for warmth and they made it seem it was trying to eat the babys leg.. Seriously its rediculous.
Sorry for the rant :rolleyes:

Exactly, i saw that episode of animal cops also. I feel like if its not a puppy or a kitten on the show "too cute", EVERYTHING is dangerous. Pitbulls and Perolees and Gator Boys are the only 2 shows i see trying to improve a animals bad rep. Im just so dissapointed, the past few years i barely ever watch that channel. A big difference from growing up with it always on. I feel like media, tv, and everything else in this world is just out to scare people for ratings with all negative facts and opinions. Its like people are waiting to watch something of a negative nature rather then being informed or educated.
