Fatal Attractions on Animal Planet

i wasnt taking up for the show in any way lol i was just trying to say the worst part about it in my eyes is the fact they use someone elses tragedies to fill a time slot.. and the way they talk about deceased people.. they are so frank and distasteful in the way they talk about people who died awful horrible deaths

For anyone interested, I have submitted a couple of articles on this subject:

One of the aspects about that TV program in particular that irritates me the most is how Animal Planet seems to be deliberately portraying/implying, whether directly or indirectly, how anyone who is fascinated by or interested in keeping, working with, or otherwise interacting with reptiles (and other exotic animals) is therefore inherently "destined to be on a dangerous and ill fated endeavor", and who is therefore somehow characterized or compelled by some abnormal psychological compulsion, condition, or motivation for them to do wish to do so.

The fact that personally irritates me even further is how hundreds of people are killed or severely mauled or injured by their cats, horses, dogs, or other domesticated species each year, and yet Animal Planet has yet to produce any series or program on how those individual's love and interest of such animals is an "ill fated endeavor from the start" and how these individuals must therefore possess some abnormal psychological drive to want to own those animals. I would be willing to safely assume, that if Animal Planet were to air such depictions of domesticated animal owners, that there would be a tremendous outrage from the "mainstream" animal and pet owners. They would likely view a program and the statements it implies about them as blatantly offensive, false, and disrespectful. They would likely feel lied about, misrepresented, and believe that there are ulterior motives behind Animal Planet airing such programs.

But yet Animal Planet apparently feels that it is perfectly acceptable to slander and misrepresent the reptile, and exotics community without consequence or accountability as a means to garner ratings and viewership? Sickening and sad.
