I won't be watching it.  I think people will get upset when they see the animals getting shot and killed.

I can't stand to see any animal get hurt, especially by a person.

I don't know anything about it, so I'll probably watch the first episode to find out and then decide.

I just watched the trailer online.  It looks very intense. I like shows about animals, but in this case it might be a bit upsetting to me.  I might watch the first episode and see whether I want to continue.

I'll try (key word try) to watch the show.  However, I know me and I'll end up changing the channel.

Humans have guns and every kind of weapon you can think of to kill.  What do animals have?

I have an idea I'll equate this show up there with The Briefcase (one where the balance is out of whack).

I read the book a long time ago and found it interesting.  I don't know how I will feel when the animals get killed but they do get their licks in themselves!

Chart: The animals that are most likely to kill you this summer

Annabel a little update for you....

"Stop fretting about sharks and maybe worry about your Dorito habit instead."

Fair enough. But this is the wrong comparison to make. If we want to properly contextualize shark attacks, we need to compare sharks to their peers -- bears and gators and the myriad other fanged barbed and venomous creatures that could sting us or bite us or otherwise ruin our day.

To that end, I gathered the statistics on animal-caused fatalities in the U.S. between 2001 and 2013. Most of these come from the CDC's Wonder database, which contains horrifically detailed causes of death like "other specified venomous arthropods." On average, here's how many Americans were killed by various animals each year over that period:

The previews looked good, so I'll see what comes of it. Sometimes the preveiws are "it".

I too will watch for a while but always can quit if it become absurd.

I just finished the book so I'll be watching......
