I'm sure some of you have already figured this, but if not, it appears that Animal Planet and HSUS are deeply connected. It would explain the anti-exotics shows, such as Fatal Attractions, that make our hobby seem like a nightmare. It would also mean that shows like Too Cute! could be there just to suck in viewers and generate ad revenue for more lawyers.
Now call me a conspiracy theorist, but that would mean that Animal Planet could just be HSUS's propaganda network, if not just one of their "butt buddies" in Hollywood.
To go further, some googling popped up some interesting results.

This is obviously old news to some. According to this 2007 thread from Michigan Sportsman, word was that Animal Planet is property of the Humane Bunghole of the United States: http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/fo...ndard&dom_id=0
Aw, how cute! Animal Planet gave their pals at HSUS their very own starring role: http://www.humanesociety.org/about/d...es_120309.html
To say the least, they most definitely are partners: http://animal.discovery.com/helping-pets/roar/hsus.htm
