Ed,
your experience with interviews parallels mine. Once, I did a short telephone interview for a newspaper in which I stated that snakes did not get as much empathy from people because they were not cute and cuddly like bunnies are. The next day a hate mail was sitting in the inbox- and when I read the article my statement has been turned around to imply that I thought killing bunnies was a good idea!

Your statement about us trying to portray these animals in a better light is correct- that was our intent. I don't like the way they imply that anyone who keeps snakes is a hoarder- but I can't change that, only try to show a 'reasonable' person who works with them.

I suppose whether or not I am reasonable is up for debate, but there it is.
