It's unfortunate Animal Planet isn't spending more of their airtime promoting education when it comes to these animals. Sad to see the sensationalistic negative stereotypes being reinforced. On some level it's a good lesson to show these kinds of shows if it's also explained how terrible it is what they're doing and exposing the ignorance. Without any educational component it's just them showing a "scary snakes have to die" show.. Let us know if you get a response Steve.
