I've been watching a lot of this channel recently. (Mostly Because of Planet Earth and The Crocodile Hunter.) But it's all to often now that shows bashing large constrictors and hots are coming on. Fatal attractions is doing it a lot on the aspect of Hots, and is making it look like were "animal hoarding freaks" for loving reptiles... every show you can tell the families (especially those that have had a death) love there family members and are trying to make them look good, but nearly everything is taken out.of.context And in turn makes it look bad to own exotics. Even at the end It says, "still wondering why people get exotic pets? Explore the psychology And hear from the owners themselves" this makea my blood boil.... I personally believe Animal Planet is one of the reasons so many people fear exotics to any degree... I don't let anything from this channel degrading be played while I'm home.. it has my mom believing my little BP could strangle her to death.. my fiancée is starting to come around after I made her watch multiple specials and actually pay attention to all the lies they spew forth. Last night in particular... watching the "Man-Eating Super Snake" she we actually yelling at the TV after hearing nothing but "it's invading"
I know we have ALOT of mixed reviews. And it appears the Borneo Bateater is starting to take hits as the "next big snake" so lets hear some info from everyone. Do you hate animal planet? Do you like it? Do you agree about what it says about our pets?
On a side note... is it right to ban our snakes because of the "problem" in the glades? (Try to keep this to conversation and not a name throwing rant)
I don't want anyone to go.off and say "burms are going to be ruling the world!" Most Burmese in Flordia were killed off by the Cold snap, which alone proves thy can't live in most states in the US. And to them reproducing, a lot of Baby Burmese are eaten by other predators, so in a way the Burmese helps the food chain. But at the same time, the larger ones still do harm. Its like all the invasive bees and fire ants..
Now you can agree with me, or disgaree, add some info if you please. But lets.keep this conversation to just that and not go overboard.
There are multiple things that you can add to on this. And it could be a very healthy conversation, so everyone. Opinion times?
