Its like almost every episode is dedicated to snakes, or some type of reptile. I saw 2 the other day. One was about a girl who liked snakes. Especially venomous ones. She FREE HANDLED them every day. Then she eventually got bit by her Gaboon Viper (beautiful snakes) and died. When they found her body, the police killed ALL OF HER SNAKES, to be able to "match" the fangs with the bite marks. This especially pissed me off. I'm sure they could test the blood to see which snake bit her. Even if they couldn't test the blood, does that really give them an excuse to kill ALL of her snakes just to find the ONE SNAKE that bit her? It just seems that they wanted an exuse to kill all of them.
Then theres the one where a guy is strangled by his Burmese Python. The whole time it was about how "deadly" they were. But luckily at the end they actually mentioned that he was high, drunk, and stupid while handling the snake. He was also trying to be cool showing off his gaint snake to his girl.
I don't see any episodes about "deadly" dogs. Dogs kill more people a year than snakes, so why not show an episode about a dealdy dog hmm? Oh, yea, thats right, dogs are cute and furry, so that makes them compltely harmless right?
I though animal planet was supposed to give a good name to animals, not advocate fear and hatred towards them.
