More Fakery from Animal Planet

Toothless.

The "Call of the Wildman" television show on Animal Planet is stock full of fakery, as I have noted in the past (see "Faking It With the Turtleman")

Now, it turns out that the animals on the show are typically procured from fur farms or trappers and at least some of the animals are drugged before they are put in faked "rescue" situations or on to sets tailored to mimic some hillbilly location.

Surprised?  

Not me!

This is hardly the first time "reality" television has put up wildlife fakery.  

As I have noted in the past, Steve Irwin was a big, fat liar and the "wolf man" show was actually filmed at a pathetic little zoo in England inside a cage, and starring a fellow was actually a loser in a trailer who abandoned his wife and kids.

And then there is the laughable fake "Bear" Grylls who purported to rough it and teach survival, but who actually spent his nights in fine hotels, often only a few hundred yards from a road.
