Disgusted with Animal Planet

[guidofatherof5]

I'm with you Marnie. I root for the gartors(Swap People) to pull a few of those idiots into the water.
It a shame to see sure wonderful animals killed.

It may be morbid, but if I see any of those shows, I always hope that those idiots get an arm ripped off by the gators. They deserve it, though, imo.

I mean...I do applaud the fact that Billy relocates animals and doesn't kill them. That at least made me happy about his crazy show...but I just used to get so angry about the bad wrap he gave to snakes...he would make all snakes seem like vicious predators that would tear your arm off if you got near them...(PLUS...a lot of his info on snakes was incorrect). He would sit there and go at every snake as if it were about to attack him, and then scare the poor snake into attacking him...and then call the snake vicious. I always wanted to call him up and tell him to take me on his show so that I could show him how to properly handle snakes! Then I would look at the audience and say "See everyone, snakes aren't vicious...Billy is just a wuss and an idiot".

Sensationalism to raise ratings is all they care about.

Marnie, you're great! That pretty much sums up how I feel about the guy.

I yell at the TV too. I'm always saying it's not even venomous you chicken S***. (Sorry for the naughty stars.) He really needs educated about snakes.

That is what gets me Steve. I am not against responsible hunting of any sustainable animal (luckily gators are back on that list again after a long sabbatical due to our ignorance). I don't like trophy hunts and I really don't like the sensationalizing of any animal to the point that encourages anyone and everyone to lop off its head out of ignorance.

Do you remember the one with the snake in the tattoo shop? I think it was a boa or a python...they kept saying it was a venomous rattler...the snake was a boa I think! Billy and his stupid brother kept shouting about how it was vicious and "look at the thing...it's coming right at us!"...the poor snake was just laying there doing nothing under a sofa...so, they start poking it with a stick of course and shouting and freaking out...and all of these big, tough tattoo guys are running around screaming...it was unbelievable...I could have given them a little lesson in how to be a man in that episode!

I stopped watching after about 2 or 3 episodes. I couldn't take it anymore.

[EasternGirl]

Right...my son loves the show...he's afraid of bugs so he freaks himself out watching the insect episodes...lol! I think he got tired of hearing all of my snake tirades though because even he stopped watching it recently!
