Disgusted with Animal Planet

It may require watching this trash again but we need a list of the sponser that advertise during this show.
Lets post them here and start making some calls and sending emails.

Do the opposite to what we normally do with TV on commercial channels - most programmes we watch we Sky+ (translation for transatlantic readers: record from satellite on a TeVo-type box) and fast forward the ads. You could record and fast forward the programme and watch the ads so that you don't have to subject yourself to the garbage.

Good idea. Hope we can get some of the sponsers soon.

I did some looking today and located this info.
Since Sweetwater,TX seems to be the center of this roundup tragedy, embarrassment, ect. I thought I would post some contact info. for their Chamber of Commerce

I called and left a message for the director to call me back.
My message was polite and professional. Hoping this will at least get me a call back.

Looks like the 2011 Roundup was March 11,12,13.
I didn't see a 2012 Roundup on their calendar of events, yet.

Looks like the AP Facebook page Rattlesnake Republic has been removed.
I'm new to facebook so could someone verify this info.

Looks that way. I tried searching for it and looking at the post I put on there. It's just gone. Maybe they are getting the message.

Or just don't want to see anymore and not give people the option to comment.

Been there done that. If a company like this is getting critisized in public, they remove your comment etc. They never listen either. If they cared they wouldn't be airing this.

[katach]

That could be also. From looking at the comments left on that page, before it was removed, they were all against the show and what it was promoting.

I started my own Facebook page. Lets see them remove this.
