Fatal Attractions

People complain about the show being one sided, but the fact is, those animals the show features are wild, not domesticated, and ready to kill because of their nature and instinct. Several of the episodes would feature all creature from snakes to tigers with the exception of aquatic fishes. The show is now available on iTunes for anybody wanting to watch it but know that the show is not just for entertainment, but a good lesson that these animals will always be wild and regardless of feelings, have the potential to kill. And sadly, the animal pays the price for being wild while the stupid humans either survives and etc.

This doc was basically about stupid humans (all I suspect with some social or mental health disorders in that they were obsessed with and collected/hoarded violent animals). These wild animals, as expected, either bit them, attacked others, or mauled them to death...and I'd be lying if I said I wasnt cheering on the animals!! The deep seated ignorance of these human beings to think they had a "connection" with a wild untamed creature...made this series interesting. The law of averages states IF you live in a fantasy world where wild animals will never hurt you...you get what you deserve.

If these people had received the mental health care they desperately needed, they might still be alive. A disturbed young woman who believes that her 'pet' gaboon viper 'cares about' her is clearly not well. It's horrible that the victims' loved ones have to live with the traumatic aftermath.

I like that the program places the blame squarely where it belongs - with the arrogant humans who believe that they have some spiritual connection with wild animals who belong in the wild - not trailer parts or studio apartments. (If these folks were actually animal lovers, they would never try to keep them as 'pets.') Hopefully, the stories told will help prevent this dangerous (and idiotic) behavior.

It's a very interesting show and its fascinating to see the people who live with these potentially deadly animals. However it's not the most well made show on television. There is not that much else to say it's a cool show to watch.

I very rarely watch animal planet these days, as most of the current programs have little to nothing to do with animals. But, this is one of very few that I actually watch. It's interesting, and also serves as a cautionary tale against exotic pet ownership. Besides, I can't understand for the life of me why some people think that having a tiger or hyena or chimpanzee as a pet is completely normal! It brings up several notorious cases, such as Travis the Chimpanzee and the animal escape in Zanesville. This show always tells the stories of how these owners got seriously injured or even killed because of their decisions. And I can't believe there are people who believe that this show is one sided! If you own venomous snakes, big cats, or great apes, you're just ASKING for trouble! These animals are not suited to be pets. And, the animal is always killed by these people's stupidity. So, while it's not great, it's still one of the few watchable shows on modern animal planet.
