It's about ratings. Make a good show about snakes that general public can enjoy and things can start to turn around.

Does the general public want to see a show about how snakes can be harmless? Or do they want to see giant anacondas eating pigs and how some guy lost his leg due to a snake bite?

This show is actually entertaining, educational and they show people handling many different kinds of snakes. It's exactly what we need on TV. We need shows that instruct people how to make their yards unfriendly to snakes. That way they can follow some of the tips other than just killing snakes.

I don't watch anything else on AP, mainly because I don't like dogs and 99% of their programming involves dogs. I will however support SnakesKin and rave about it every chance I get because it delivers the message that we want everyone to have. Oh, and they do it by the thousands at one time.
Absolutely! One can speculate on AP's agenda to destroy our hobby all day - but when it comes down to it they are a business and they only care about ratings. Airing shows about big scary dangerous snakes sells. They wouldn't air those programs if nobody watched.

I can fully understand why some of you would want to boycott AP and I don't blame you. On the other hand, I think it's really important to support shows like SnakesKin. The compassion the family on SnakesKin has for reptiles is very obvious and the message that they deliver may very well change the mind of some of the misinformed public!
