Disgusted with Animal Planet

[guidofatherof5]

Just saw an intro. to a new show on the history channel. It's a spin-off to their show Axe Men. It's call "Legend of Shellby the Swamp Man"
In one of the intro. clips this idiot it appears he's holding a water snake. The small water snake bites and holds on to his hand so he bites the snakes head off.
I guess since it a reptile and a snake to boot it's okay. I bet if it were a cute little kitty or puppy there would be an uproar. The words I would like to type about this dufus and the history channel would not make it passed the censor.
What is this world coming to.

What the **** is wrong with these people?

Ugh. That's just way too far. Even if it was a frog, or a cute lizard, plenty if people would be angry. But nope, it's a snake, cause absolutely NO ONE cares about THOSE disgusting things... I used to like animal planet, and all these other channels. Anyone remember Meerkat Manor? That was what animal planet SHOULD be.

Sounds like the "legendary swamp man" is a ****.
The producers are all *****.
And the people that commissioned the series are also *****.
It will probably be watched by a broad range of ignorant *****.

The **** (the legendary one) should suffer the appropriate legal repercussions for this animal cruelty, for which there is apparently plenty of evidence.

Do you have a body responsible for broadcasting standards? In the UK we have a statutory body which is responsible for dealing with complaints about broadcasting standards in programmes and adverts.

I just got off the phone with A&E(parent company of The History Channel) when you call the number I provided push "0" for an operator as their comment line isn't in their menu(imagine that) I left a professional but strong comment about this issue and to be honest was quiet sarcastic about them returning a call to me.
I also made a screen capture video of the incident before they edit it out.
Good thing they are in NY and I'm in Iowa.
