What the Heck is Up With "Fatal Attractions" On Animal Planet?

[mpkeelee]

i watch that show all the time and they talk about how people make bad decisions which lead to their death. like that chick with the gaboon viper, she got bit by her rattlesnake but it was a dry bite so she thought she was immune to their venom because she thought they had some special relationship. people on there with per bulls who get trampled and killed. a guy who went into his burmese pythons enclosure to cuddle with it and it killed him. they said the guy didnt feed it or take very good care of it and thoughts what caused it. or the old lady who had wild bears as pets but would go outside and hang out with them and feed them until they dragged her away and ate her. animal planet doesnt have many good shows but fatal attractions doesnt make only the animals look bad, they talk about how stupid people are too.

my thoughts exactly. I love the show, they mainly focus on the peoples ignorance or misbeliefs. I like how they have friends and families describe there friedns mishaps comedy. the wolf lady was insane though and that WHITE indian dude hahaha he was awesome like wlaking bear or somthing that guy was a kook and even he said his friend was nuts. she wanted to "walk amoung the wolves" well she did and now shes dead, these animals have insticts that cannot be curved. O AND THE ORANGATANG (spelling) dude that one was hectic the phone call was all he is eating my friends face POOR lady she thought it was her kid. i understand how people get wrapped up in this but animals are well animals. kind of a tangent sorry i just get pumped talkin about this show. and im mad i missed the burmese python one that sounds like a good one hahaha!

Animal Planet was infiltrated by humaniacs a long time ago. It shows in their programming-- all of their programming with the exception of a few shows like Dogs 101 is geared towards highlighting the negatives of the human-animal bond with very little effort towards showing the positives.

Personally not a fan of the show at all. Yes it may show that the owner made mistakes but it mostly glorifies the "bad" pet stigma. For the average person watching the show...they walk away with ...Oh its crazy to own snakes/lizards. Then all of a sudden anyone who owns snakes is crazy and we are all going to get eaten and then it will come after me. Seriously!! Everytime the average joe hears I have pythons....we go through the whole FL story with the 2 year old. They don't remember anything except wild python kills and eats girl. UGH!!

I was recently bitten on the lip by my iguanna. Did some damage probably should of had a couple of stitches. My stupid fault....totally! But there was no way I was going to the hospital. I could see the newspapers and hear the phone call from the show. Why did it bite me....my dumb butt was kissing it.... So instead I did my own fix it job.

All in all we have enough bad publicity and ppl glorifying accidents...we don't need a show on tv doing more.

This. This answers everything. I'm sick of people going on "AP'S BEING BAD TO SNAKES/DOGS/PEOPLE/THE MOOD!" Get over it already guys; you ain't changing a thing.
