I agree that it sucks that they are playing up the "dangerous" aspect of snakes. I don't understand why a channel named animal planet would be nurturing an unnatural fear of snakes by making people with snake collections look like creeps. Reaching out to a new audience???

lame.
I don't think it's the channel, I think the animal cops in that city are just stupid. E Vet interns is always favorable to reptiles, and I have seen successful snake rescues in animal planet NY. Plus the Crocodile Hunter was great herp advocate. Remember that being an animal cop is probably not very lucrative, and these people tend to be more fur pet oriented. I think more money can probably be earned breeding herps than being an animal cop, so they don't really get the experienced reptile people (who wants to work with a bunch of people who think breeding snakes makes you crazy?)
