As someone who's loved and kept more than a few anacondas, it kinda pisses me off that so many people seem okay with the idea that, no matter how this goes, it's going to mean varying degrees of needless stress or suffering to the snake - quite possibly ending in an entirely unnecessary death. It's especially infuriating to know that an anaconda that's actually large enough to consume a human isn't exactly a very common animal, which is yet another reason to just leave it be. It's sad that so few people seem to appreciate the majesty of the truly giant constrictors.

Pointlessly sensationalistic programming amounts to nothing more than an attempt at ratings-driven shock value, which is pretty pathetic for a network that used to have a bit of substance to its shows. I don't think that celebrating or documenting nature should involve destroying it. I just don't see a damn point to it. I guess this will just be another reminder of why I pretty much stopped watching T.V.
