IMO, their slogan should be "Surprisingly NOT Human", if they were doing what they should be anyway. I'm plain sick of 99% of the programming, I refuse to watch Animal Planet at this point. Between all of the animal hoarding, exotic pets and other animals killing humans and people being infested with parasites, it's sickening. Completely different from what they used to be.
Is there a reason for it? Yes! Marketing, of course. What sells better than animals maiming humans and other animals?
This is worth a read.
