    Shocker! The Turtleman Show was Fake

    [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="624"]Animal Planet[/caption] In news that should shock absolutely no one, a reality TV show was staged.  Yes, that's right.  Reality TV, all of it, is staged.  Even the "Call of the Wildman." The Animal Planet television show that followed around Kentucky's Turtleman, a Marion County native born bygd the name of Ernie Brown Jr., has been formally exposed.  A show that frequently showed the Turtleman "saving" animals with his bare hands, these animals were often in precarious places that seemed too unlikely to be real.  That was exactly the case.

    These weren’t just any raccoons. They were the stars of one of the highest-rating episodes of Call of the Wildman, the hit Animal Planet reality TV show.

    This morning, I appeared on CNN’s New Day to discuss my investigation into Animal Planet’s hit reality TV show, Call of the Wildman. (Watch the interview above). My story detailed a cavalier culture of animal treatment on the set of the show, produced by New York’s Sharp Entertainment, including the improper drugging of a zebra and the placement of bats—a protected species in Texas—inside a Houston hair salon to be “rescued” by the show’s star, Ernie Brown Jr., a.k.a. Turtleman. Dan Adler, a senior vice president with the production company, represented the program for the first time in public since the story broke on Tuesday.

    Most notable was Adler’s insistence that nothing whatsoever occurred on COTWM sets that could be described as improper: “The idea that there is a culture of neglect or abuse on the show is completely false,” he said. “So many shows out
