I didn't see it. I want to though. I could care less if it's real or not. It's a show, watch it and shut up is my philosophy and quick bathroom breaks during the commercials.

While the reptile episode was exaggerated, the big cat and chimp ones were very, very true. I feel so sad for that guy who lost like 7 fingers, an eye, his lips, all his teeth, his nose.. they didn't mention it on the show but I think he lost his testicles too

 

[turbo253]

are you talking about the women that lost her face to the chimp?

 

[TTTT]

No, they didn't show her, I think it was to gruesome. They told her store but didn't show any pictures or videos of her.

They did, however, show a man who was attacked by two escaped chimps who lost an eye, all his teeth, his nose, his lips, a majority of fingers, etc.. poor guy. He has a great outlook on life though.

 

[turbo253]

ok.

 

[Egon]

These kind of shows can only hurt the pet industry.

 

[Lepisosteus platyrhincus]

yep!!

These kind of shows can only hurt the pet industry.

And for good reason when it comes to primates.

That was horrible. Chimps are power houses and smart which is a lethal combo.

I am surprised they still give out permits to own them like that other lady had few of them.
There is a house around here who has squirell monkeys in big outside aviary type enclosure and they are harmless . If they escaped though they can't its a zero issue but a 150 lb plus chimp is another story.
Not to mention chimps are smart enough to open complicated locks and use keys.

The guy who died from "the monitor bite" actually died from a heart attack. He was locked in his house, for days, with free roaming monitors and they took the opprotunity to feed off him...just like any pet cat or dog would do, in the same situation.

The woman with the Monocled Cobra did not have it free roaming, in her house. She was in the process of moving and was packing her animals up. During packing them up, she was bitten. I'm not condoning her actions, as she was keeping venomous illegally, therefore it was her own fault. If the hospital would've been aware of the circumstances and knew what had bitten her, she could've been successfully been treated with anti-venom and most likely, would've survived.

The people with the big cats...well, I don't have much to say about that. If I had the room and the financial means to keep them, I'd have them too. I'm the type of person that understands the consequences though and realizes there's a very significant chance that I could be killed.

F Animal Planet. I joined a group, boycotting them.

It's only about scare tactics and media propaganda.

The monitor episode was distorted as far as they made them look sinister and lurking in the shadows waiting to strike . Kind of like Ben from the movie "Willard" .
