That's not what they said. They said that he probably got an infection from when he was bit a few days before, and because he didn't have a phone, he didn't call anyone for help. And because he loved his monitors so much, he didn't want to leave them for a few days if he left to go to the hospital.
They believe he died from his infection, and that the monitors then ate him after having no other food source for days.
Re: new show called aliens and fatal atraction
I saw last nights episode (monitor lizards and urutu vipers) and came away without the feelings of rage some of you are experiencing.
I was more upset that the monitor keeper let his animals roam free in his apartment, let them terrorize his cats and beat up on each other.
I was more upset that the lady with the urutu viper also kept her animals in suboptimal conditions.
I was more angry that there are idiots out there masquerading as responsible pet owners who give the rest of us a bad name and give people ammunition against us.
.....and frankly I'm a bit disappointed that some of you are unable to draw the line between responsible pet ownership, irresponsible pet ownership and hoarding.

Another reason I'm glad not to have cable...
Re: new show called aliens and fatal atraction
i watched about 10 minutes of the 'aliens' show, they showed a guy with a BP, and the channel was immediately changed.
Re: new show called aliens and fatal atraction
I bet the only reason these shows are actually being shown is because Steve Irwin is around to say to animal planet, no.
Re: new show called aliens and fatal atraction
So anyone that keeps 2 or more animals is now by default a hoarder with mental deficiencies? That's a new one to me. What I am wondering is, do any of these people making such statements on the show have any actual training in making such medical diagnoses? To me, the phrase "I may not be a psychologist, but I play one on TV" comes to mind.
Also remember folks, we now have a "Boycott Animal Planet" Facebook group. If you haven't joined yet, do so. We are trying to reach at least 1000 members or more

Re: new show called aliens and fatal atraction
I joined and invited all my facebook friends to join. I remember when watching Animal Planet meant watching Steve Irwin go out into the wilderness and find a cool reptile to show us, and while he may have pissed it off, he always encouraged respect for these animals. I also watched AP for the vet shows and such. Now I don't have cable and really don't know what shows they have now but I checked their site and in a box with video clips in it, 5/8 are videos about killer animals, 6/8 if you include the one about werewolves but I wouldn't count that one really. *sigh* When did animals stop being beautiful creatures that were amazing to see and learn about and start becoming deadly creatures that rip your face off. :mad:
