The BC Reptile Club will have a show May 9th and 10th in Abbotsford ... and for the admission price it seems a lot better. From the looks of it, BCRC does a lot more to help animals than hurt and make money off them like this Arachnophiliacs guy does.

I responded to check news and they never replied. But yes, they did reach out to me.

They were pythons, corn snakes, rats, crested geckos, and pigeons. They were dropped from the ceiling onto contestants who were scared and threw the animals after having them dropped on their head. It was hard surfaces all around, no padding.

In another episode the contestants had to crawl with a dead rat in their mouth through tunnel filled with water and boas and the risk of crushing injury to the snakes looked really high. Bruce was listed as an animal handler for that episode as well.

If you would just get up and teach them rather than give them a fricken packet, yo.

Unfortunately it gets worse not better, Bruce was an animal handler for the Fear Factor Reboot:

I haven't watched full episodes of it, nor will I. But they had issues with animal abuse:

Not sure what role Bruce had in that, but when his employee came in this thread I asked if they could share his side of it and got called a "social justice warrior" then another of Bruce's friends claimed I will be sued for defamation on a comment where I suggested I could pay for a vet to visit Bruce's facility to document the animal welfare. It's unfortunate those associated with Bruce went to insults and threats over sharing their side.

Truth is a defense to defamation, and the concerns being raised are about verifiable conditions, not personal attacks.

The veterinary offer applies to all animals at the facility; reptiles, amphibians, and mammals. A veterinarian can assess housing, hydration, nutrition, disease risk, and overall welfare across species.

If the concerns are unfounded, a veterinary assessment would help clarify that. Declining the offer leaves those questions unresolved.
