Re: Great Animal Escapes- get on TV!!
All that matters to me, and most of the people here, is that your show is not going to shed a negative light on our hobby.
Hopefully our UK members are familiar with your production and can fill us in.
Judging by your post, I almost feel as if this may be the case.

Re: Great Animal Escapes- get on TV!!
I havnt heard of this production so cant vouch for them...... i feel wary from reading it tho,...
I feel that if people watch a tv show about animals escaping, especially snakes, that it will just make people look at reptile keepers as irresponsible and careless for the escapes.. different when someones cute dog or bunny escapes though eh.

Re: Great Animal Escapes- get on TV!!
Sounds risky for the hobbyists, we have tons of bad press as it is.
If they are ligit it sounds interesting though.

Re: Great Animal Escapes- get on TV!!
This show sounds pretty cool but as everybody else said it might cause bad press on reptiles

I agree with this. I am not for showing snakes and what not getting out. Things like this add up to make our hobby even more of a hated misunderstood thing.

Re: Great Animal Escapes- get on TV!!
The fenton he is on about was about an idiot who let his dog loose to chase wild deer - the deer stampeded across a public highway, luckily without any injuries to themselves. If that is the standard that they are expecting then it is just bad news for our hobby if any reptile escapes are mentioned on the show.
I envisage "killer corn snake holds town to ransom" type headlines

Re: Great Animal Escapes- get on TV!!
Yeah... I've got a few cute videos of animals getting smart and getting loose but that is NOT the type of press this hobby needs, sorry.

His efforts might be misdirected in our opinion, that isn't to say the he isn't a standup guy with loads to offer. I'm sure we have all done our share of jobs we weren't crazy about.
Don't you think a ban is a little overrated for this?

Re: Great Animal Escapes- get on TV!!
No rules have been broken here.... so the post stays.
Sounds like they will get NO video clips from us.
You guys are on top of things.
Thanks Rob!! You da man.

Re: Great Animal Escapes- get on TV!!
Yes the hammer is extreme but why associate with those that are looking for us to for do or say stupid things. It seems his sole purpose of joining is to get us go send clips of out animals running amuck. Sorry but I don't trust easily and this is his only post( I am assuming he just joined today.) So I assume ( and yes I am jumping to conclusions) he has an agenda and it seems like most of is don't like what is being insinuated. That's just me and you guys already know I tend to post without thinking buthe could still read our post even if he is not a member so banning wouldn't help. Okay I just talked my self through this have a good one.

No worries, I'm sure loads of people agree with you, but if we start banning on a whim could we really keep the friendly/family atmosphere we currently strive to maintain?

I agree, a ban isnt warrented at all. We welcome everyone unless theyre antisocial etc... its just unlikely they'll get clips from us as the subject is detrimental to our hobbie.... its a shame it cant be guarenteed that the show wouldnt twist things as everyones got to agree snake keepers have the most interesting and funny stories.
