Watched Animal Planet's "Rattlesnake Republic"
I'm very disappointed with Animal Plant" to air this type of show that promotes the killing of these snakes.
Raiding dens is just part of the job. "It's all about the money" was the theme of the show.
No conservation and no respect for these wonderful reptiles.
I do understand the need for these snakes being removed for the protection of people but that's not what this show is about.
It is about finding and removing all the snakes they can. More money.
"Looking for the killer snake" "We must get them before they attack"
Negative hype against rattlesnakes.
These snakes are not being removed and relocated. They are being sold in the "Trophy Snake" market.
Much of animal planets programing is on the protection and rescue of animals. Treating injured animals and releasing or finding homes for them.
I guess that goes right out the window when it comes to reptiles(snakes, alligators, ect.)
My complaint will not end here.
Animal Planet will be hearing from me.

These idiots go out and raid these dens and areas to make a few hundred dollars.
One of them said "It's getting harder and harder to find the big snakes" I wonder why it's so hard Sherlock?
