Fatal Attractions is a documentary series on Animal Planet that first aired in March 2010 and ended in about February 2013. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The series focuses mainly on people who keep rare and dangerous exotic animals as pets. Each episode focuses on a particular group of animals (IE: Tigers, chimpanzees, snakes, crocodiles) and then proceeds to tell the backstory of a different person's life with the animals. The episodes also feature commentary on friends and family of the people in question as well as insight from experts on animal and human behavior. Often, the stories end in tragedy with either the owner and/or pet being horribly mauled and killed.Not to be confused with the film Fatal Attraction.

Foregone Conclusion

One episode in particular featured a man in Canada who claimed he had complete control over his tigers (and lions) and even allowed a small child to take a picture of one for a school report. Guess what the tiger did to the little boy when he tripped and fell to the ground? The tiger severely mauled him.

All Animals Are Domesticated

All Animals Are Domesticated: Subverted. Nearly every episode features someone who is horribly mauled by an animal due to not realizing how dangerous they can be. The people shown to take proper care of their exotic pets state that they are well-aware that they are dealing with a potentially deadly wild animal. One episode in particular featured a man in Canada who claimed he had complete control over his tigers (and lions) and even allowed a small child to take a picture of one for a school report. Guess what the tiger did to the little boy when he tripped and fell to the ground? The tiger severely mauled him.

Apocalyptic Log: One episode centered around a man who died of a deadly krait (a type of venomous snake related to cobras) bite. The man actually wrote down his experiences of the effects the venom was having on him after he lost the ability to speak.

All Animals Are Dogs

All Animals Are Dogs: Or, rather, "Wolves are just like dogs, right?". Wrong, very wrong. One story features a woman who kept a pack of wolf-dog hybrids as pets thinking they would be just as tame and friendly as a pure bred dog (And because she believed she had a "spiritual connection" to wolves). The wolf-dogs mauled the woman to death. Likewise, the episode even has a few experts state that a common misconception regarding wolf-dogs is that they are more "tame" than a regular wolf. In reality, such hybrids are actually more unpredictable than a pure-blooded wolf, and therefore far more dangerous. One episode featured a woman in Australia who treated crocodiles like dogs. Even going so far as to take one on car rides with her.
