I think one thing people get mad about is when your word are written out of context by reporters there seems, from our perspective, no atempt to clear up the misrepresentation and when it always happens against us many start to scraem conspiracy.
We also know that the way someone presents info can mislead people. Seeing 99 snakes and 60 of them were alive has zero scientific value because dead snake can't come out to sun themselves if they are hidden even the 90% death rate has little, due to the small sample size and limited age and size variety and was this clearly stated to DC or did they walk out thinking 60% are still alive?
How many babys died 0%? 100%?
This is some of the reasons people are frustrated when there hobby and for some there livelyhood is on the line.
