Disgusted with Animal Planet

[KittyKitsch]

I may have missed an earlier comment on this but what about Fatal Attractions (i think that's what it's called)?

dangit...here i go again: Rattlesnake Republic. One of the wrangler teams caught a Mexican beaded lizard that was eating a local farmer's eggs. They caught the "wild lizard", stated that it will bring them $1300, bagged it and that was that. Here's the problem: beaded lizards do not occur in TX. Busted! If you're going to plant an animal as most wildery shows do, @ least get the native species right. Note: I hate this show, but watched because one of the dumbazzes was bit on the head doing a stunt. No venom injected, didn't even break the skin...too bad.

I realize this is an old post but i agree with everything said here...also there is a new show it might be on discovery but thw whole show is hillbillies killing alagators. Who would want to watch that?

What it the name of the show? Nothing wrong with bumping this thread. We are still disgusted with Animal Planet.
I even saw the other day where National Geographic Channel is starting their own crap programming. Chasing UFO's I think is the name.

The name is "Swamp people" its on History heres the Wiki Swamp People - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Really the picture to the top right says it all. My quesion is why would anyone wanna ever watch that?

[guidofatherof5]

Yeah, I've hated that show since it first came on. Guess it's into a second season of slaughter. I root for the gators. Just another money based show at the expense and respect for the animal.

When i first saw a commercail for it i just sat there and though 1. Why is this on the history channel? and 2. Why is this on T.V. It is sad to see that this is what poeple want to watch now days...

I agree as well. AP has gone waaay down hill. I used to watch it all the time. Not anymore, nothing is worth watching! I really hadn't heard of that Rattlesnake Roundup show until this thread, but just now actually saw it on my tv guide thing. Either way I can't stand those shows showing the unnecessary killing of animals. I don't even like wild shows where animals are hunting animals! Swamp wars, Swamp Brothers, Hillbilly Handfishin, I Shouldn't be Alive(nothing to even do with animals!!)....A bunch of crap!

Crap that makes money...

My son was watching one of those stupid shows recently. He loves Animal Planet. I love that he loves animals...but I lecture him about the stupidity and extremely damaging messages being sent out by these shows. He was watching some show in which a bunch of toothless hillbillies were chasing wild turkeys around a maze at a fair and trying to catch them. Then he got mad at me because I wouldn't stop imitating the hillbillies trying to catch the turkeys! "Did yer get em Billy Bob Joe Jimmy? Quick! Hims makin a break fer it!". Rofl.
