(TV/ANIMAL CRUELTY) News magazine Mother Jones conducted an investigation on Animal Planet’s Call of the Wildman, which uncovered a number of staged situations that put animals’ lives at risk.

Call of the Wildman follows a wildlife rescuer nicknamed “Turtleman,” who supposedly gets called to retrieve pesky animals from homes and businesses. However, the recent investigation shows these animals are sometimes caught prior to taping, kept in poor conditions, and even drugged at times.
