full transparency i hate this guy and other wildlife grifters who go out of their way to harass wild animals & captive venomous animals e.g. the yoink everglades guy (who everyone points out is a trumpie but even if he was the most virtuous bleeding heart anarcho commie i would still hate him for his treatment of animals), the real life tarzan guy, that south african moron who got bitten by one of his pet boomslangs or something on instagram. truly we do not need the niche of jackass esque ‘educational’ content of uneducated amateur 'biologists’ pretty much just re-inventing the schmidt pain index on youtube that encourages even more uneducated reckless handling from wannabe content creators. but thats MY 2 cents
