Croc Hunter hits a new low!

[BWSmith]

This was talked about on another forum and I figured it need to be shown here.

Croc Hunter went on Oprah recently. Ack!! You can imagine the damage he did this time. (all photos are from www.oprah.com, so she don't sue me [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] )


OK, let's bring an 8 foot gator out onto the stage. I don't see no tape on that mouth, but maybe I am missing it.

Oh and Oprah gives it a hug! What I wouldn't give to put a dead chicken around her neck! So old "Stevo" shows the world that anyone can handle an Alligator. Good message there.





And just when you thought it couldn't get worse!

Gee, it's only a huge banded egyptian cobra! This screams &quot;Venomous snakes are EASY! Anyone can do it!&quot;



For years I have had issues about his handling and the message he sends. But this is different. He is putting a layman at risk! He is demonstrating the anyone can do it. It is bad enough when he works without equipment, but now lets get another media icon doing one of the stupidest things I have ever seen. A freaking talkshow host tailing an adult cobra is mroe than I can take. I can't think straight rightnow. More to come.

Utterly disgusting...
I have been wondering when he would take the giant leap to ultra stupidity and he deffinately could not have chosen a better equal in mentality in order to team with.

Spread the word.

This isn't exactly anything new. If you watch the footage of when he was on Jay Leno, he's tailing a king and it ends up swinging pretty dang close to Jay a couple of times. But at least he didn't get Jay to tail it. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img]
