And there last episode was a prelude to Guardians...

The show Guardian's is a nightmare to most of the snake lovers on here. They are all killed almost on the spot and the government pays by the foot. They are skinned on the show and it shows it and the meat is cut up. These snakes where suppose to have come out of a sanctuary during a flood and as the show tries to show are reproducing so fast they are killing most of the native population of other species and animals. If you LOVE snakes this show will offend you greatly. If you believe these snakes should be re-located instead of killed it will make you upset. They caught a ball python in a store and it didn't show whether they killed it or not but I suspect they could have. These people are not snake lovers by any means. And they are making a lot of money not including what they make for the show itself.
I'm a snake lover and I enjoyed the show. I'll definitely be giving it another watch.
I will definitely say watching them skin and butcher the snake was tough. I think maybe because I have worked with food so long I'm a bit desensitized. I break down animals almost every day at work, so it doesn't bother me much.
Assuming what they say is true, the entire animal is being used though. The skins, skull, meat and even the intestines are being used. So at least that's a positive.
