TYT: Many Animals Were Harmed In The Making Of This Show

[WhoIsNumberNone]

"A popular Animal Network "guided reality show" allegedly chronicling animal rescue efforts actually inflicted harm on several different types of animals for the sake of the production, Mother Jones reported on Tuesday.

"It's a damn bullsh*t show," one local animal park owner said after confirming the show, Call of the Wildman, actually used a zebra from his business during an episode. "You know it, and I know it. It's just entertainment, cheap entertainment. It gives everybody a job or something to do."

The show follows star Ernie "Turtleman" Brown Jr. as he supposedly rescues animals that have made their way to homes or businesses. Brown is licensed in the state of Kentucky as a Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator (NWCO). He is allowed to trap animals for pay but required to report his captures to the state Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. A disclaimer mentioning that the show contains "some dramatizations" was added to the program on its 13th episode."* Ana Kasparian, John Iadarola (TYT University) and Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show) break it down.

1. I saw that episode

What I liked about it was that it looked like they took care of those animals even thought the animals were a problem. I'll never watch it again.

My stupid neighbor leaves her garage doors open all the time. (I always wondered why. Her garage is in her basement and I would think it would make her house hotter or colder then necessary depending on the temperature outside.) Anyway a bunch of snakes got in there and had babies. She had a guy come in and kill them all. They were just black snakes. He could have relocated them in our woods and we offered but NO. It was easier for her to just kill them all off.

She did the same thing to a huge bee hive that set up on a tree near her back porch. Had a guy come out and kill them all. We offered to take them and put them in our woods but again NO. It was easier for her to just kill them all. I just wondered why the silly woman and her live-in boyfriend moved to the country. They hate snakes and bees and sprays poison weed killer everywhere.
