Snake abuse on Television: Killer Karaoke

[DooLittle]

Digusting. Absolutely disgusting. That made me sick. It would appear I have to have fb to post there though? I will figure another way to let them know what I think of that.

I have just shared this on caudata.org as well, so hopefully there will be even more comments.

If it has not already members on other reptile and snake, or any animal for that matter, forum should post it there, we need to give them an much negative exposure as possible, my only issue is exposure, even negative, means more viewers...

Here is the network that runs the show, looks like a bottom of the barrel type, nothing but crap reality shows..

The best action might be to bring this to the attention to the companies that pay for advertising on TruTV.

If you are not friends with Urban Jungles-Radio I would friend them. Someone named Robert Walter has been commenting on their posts about this. Apparently he was there and helped but refused to supply any of his animals for this. Urban Jungles Radio has said they will be talking with him during their show on Friday night.

According to Robert there is more to this story than is immediately apparent. He has stated that this was apparently filmed 2 years ago (not sure I believe that). He has also stated that the water was not freezing cold, but actually luke warm. I didn't notice any ice, but he said that a few ice cubes were used, but mostly fake stage ice was used. Contestants were instructed to act as if the water was cold, which I honestly think they did a poor job of. I didn't get the impression that the water was cold. He also stated that some fake snakes were mixed in. I do believe that Robert was there because someone recognized him in one of the clips, but I can't verify that anything he has said is true.

All of that being said, I want to make it known that I in no way support this. I think it was a ridiculous stunt, especially since I've seen a clip where there are also two alligators swimming around in the mix, but I do think it is possible that a lot of what people are so upset about is simply the dramatization typical of "reality" TV.

Uhg that was disgusting. I tried to watch but couldn't. I checked out the facebook page and was appalled to see the snake tank is their main picture.

I made a petition directed at the channel's executive and Steve-O to get this crap removed. Here you guys go! Share this everywhere!

Those poor snakes. That's horrible and it's outlandish how society cares so little for animals that aren't "cute and cuddly."

Thank you to everyone who has made a comment, contacted Tru TV or shared this on other social media outlets.

This is completely unacceptable and you all should be disgusted! In the video, at 1:15-1:17 you can clearly see a dead snake floating belly up in the water. This is just so sad!!
