A quote of one of the shows intentions.....


"Welcome to America's invasive species ground zero: Florida. The Sunshine State is overrun by giant rats, lizards, feral hogs and lethal pythons-non-native species that have been imported by humans. Once released, these foreign invaders wreak havoc on a land that is not their own. With no natural predators, their populations continue to spread throughout the state. The front lines are expanding, and no one knows where they are headed next"

Now, I dont care if they want to air a show about a dog their helping out that got bit by a snake, ANIMAL PLANET is NOT our friend, and is NOT getting my views on ANY show it airs. They are fueling a fire

Just my 2 pennies
It's because those shows get more ratings and views than the positive ones. They put up the popular shows that appeal to audiences.
If you don't support the shows that are positive for the hobby, you're pushing down the ratings and potentially being non-supportive of this hobby in general.

This is a show that helps to educate the public on the GOOD of these animals. Not all shows on AP are bad, but since you're stereotyping them all into one group, you're assuming that all the shows are filled with incorrect information. Animal Planet producers aren't herpetologists, they are looking for what appeals to the public. They may not understand what is more or less truth about this hobby because NO ONE enforces it.
