Email I got from Brian Potter (NARBC Promoter) kinda explaining it as Judy did.
Re: Conan Show
Tim,
I know what you mean.......but what TV wants is something totally different. Think Croc Hunter.......if you look at the shows that dont go with that type of "sensationalism" they tend to go off air quickly. At the shows we are all about tame animals and respect for them and keeping them in a safe manner. But when it comes to promotion for the show.......we tend to "hype" it up. Please undersatnd I COMPLETELY understand your thoughts. We have been doing shows and tv for 9 years now.......Nigel even longer than that. By no means is that what we are about (mean animals)......but it is the best way to get advertising out to the masses. Nobody wants to watch a program with Nigel holding Bearded Dargons and Leopard Geckos. After the show ended the producers were VERY happy with us and how the show went if that explains a little???? I hope you understand our position is to show the industry in the best light possible while at the same time exposing our industry to the most people. Anyone who comes to the show will know where we stand. Hope to see you at a show!
Brian
