Disgusted with Animal Planet

[Kantar]

I value an animals life more than I do a humans life or my own.

Some species are bred for feeding people like chickens and cows mainly. But I am absolutely disgusted when wild free roaming animal that wants nothing more than just to survive is killed for sport or food.

They think there is an overpopulation of animals.. what makes them think that? what about humans... this world can use a couple billion less people... only within 60 years 4.5 BILLION more people are alive today, I'd do it for the money :/

Don't get me started on overpopulation... I believe that all too many groups/charities/individuals who "want to save the planet" conveniently ignore the cause of pollution on the planet. It's people encroaching on animals' environments that often puts them into conflict with dangerous wild animals, a few less people and that encroachment would reduce and rattlers wouldn't need to be rounded up.

AP has gone down the tubes BIG TIME. From what I understand, their agenda has been taken over and is the work of HSUS (one of our biggest enemies). The anniversary of Steve Irwin's death passed not too long ago... he is the man that made that channel. What did they do to honor him this year?? NOTHING!!! Not even sure if he got an honorable mention. AP is all about sensationalism now... it's all a bunch of crap made to feed the sheeple. They will not listen to us... the entire reptile community has been pelting animal planet for a while now. It falls on deaf ears, the same way that HSUS blocks and deletes any commenting on their website that does not agree with THEIR agenda. Matter of fact, I can't believe this topic has taken this long to surface here!

Growing up, I always loved to watch animal planet because it was where I could learn all about awesome animals from every part of the planet and see all kinds of interesting footage. Now.... well gee... it's all about PEOPLE and their interactions with animals. And a lot of it is negative... like that hogwash show about infestations... and of course the rubbish about the super hybrid python that is going to take over the everglades and eat your children!!!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking wild game from a sustainable population for FOOD (I do not agree with any killing for sport). I have seen the way grocery store meats get processed.... and I will pass. Those perdue chickens suffer immensely pitiful lives (completely in the dark too) prior to slaughter and their their carcasses are handled by machines and bathed in ammonia and other chemicals... I will stick to grass-fed animals raised on an actual farm and the wild deer that roam here freely!
