I absolutely agree, I used to watch Animal Planet all the time when I was younger, but so many of the shows (especially during prime time) aren't even about animals anymore! I don't know how many times I've turned the channel on to find some story following a human's disastrous life and emphasizing the human psyche and not even see an animal. The times a newer show does have animals as the focus its almost always seen as a negative on the animal unless its something cute and cuddly. While I'll admit I don't love every animal (insects in particular), everything has a purpose and the bottom line is that many of the 'scary' animals wouldn't even be a problem if people were more educated about them. More than once have I had to change the channel because it offends me so much.
