River Monsters

I sent this to the Animal Planet channel about the River Monsters show.


"I am distressed about "River Monsters." First, no animals or living creatures are monsters. That is a sensationalized and ignorant term to allure the general public, already conditioned to be attracted to fear and anxiety. River Monsters represents an atavistic and primitive approach to other-than-human life as something to be captured, exploited and killed. I expect a more enlightened approach from Animal Planet. Thank you."
