I came across this video this morning and I couldn't believe it. There's just so much wrong with the clips...

I did some research and it seems he STILL has a show on the Hallmark Channel. The poor 'reindeer' in this video is so stressed, his third eyelid is covering almost a third of his eye. Not to mention that guinea pig and agouti are at serious risk of being killed by all those puppies :(

Of course, this guy owns a huge pet store in New York State. He's supposed to be a parrot specialist but even the species info he provides for them is vague at best, outright poor at other times. It's really upsetting to see he's making such a good living spreading so much misinformation.
 
Sh*t like this enrages me :rant:
What an a**hole! Was that a show televised in the US?
That poor ferret and the bit with the puppy getting bit by the turtle teared me up, poor little puppy! :sad3:
Poor animals people like that should be allowed to keep pets!
People like that is why I find it hard to find any faith in mankind!
 
I can't believe he hasn't been brought up on animal abuse. He mentions Martha Stewart calling him a pet keeper. Not a compliment in my book. UGH!
 
He had a show produced by her company, that's the one that's in reruns a lot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Morrone

More clips :(

It upsets me he wears scrubs in most of these clips, leading people to believe he has some professional training. He opened his pet store at the age of 18. I find it really stressful watching these clips - I feel as though most of the animals are in imminent danger and even when he's not talking about an animal, how he presents them promotes poor care (i.e. guinea pigs should not have shelled peas as they are too starchy for them, the shells are fine but the peas should be removed.)
 
So I didn't actually watch these. Just one look at the images and I was not able to press 'play' for any of the videos. It already looks bad. Watching will only make me angry. Wtf... :redhot:
 
I highly doubt there are any charges that can be successfully prosecuted. I think it'd be more effective to complain to the channels that carry his show, companies that produce it, etc. It's not available in Canada as far as I know, if not I would write to them myself.

So do you know exactly what channel airs his show? Is it here in the United States. I will write a letter to the channel hopefully if they get enough complaints they will remove his show.
 
Yorkielove if you find the email or the address of the american station, please let us all know. This P****S me off so bad!!!!!!!!!!
 
Man idk what the hell he was talking about except for gagging a ferret all the rest all you see is animals hurting each other some of those animals are not meant to be together like that and idk I watch the hallmark channel and that's not really the type of shows they have I think he more of one of those late night infomercials that come on late at night where most people are sleeping but I'm definitely checking into it
