Bruce George (television personality)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bruce George is an Australian television personality from Perth, Western Australia, and host of Animal Planet's The Snake Buster. His first television appearance was in Aussie Animal Rescue. He is licensed by the Western Australia's Department of Environment and Conservation to handle and remove snakes in domestic situations. He is also involved in research of behaviour and ecology of hybrid death adders found in northern Western Australia.

[edit] Lawsuit

In 2005 he and production company Prospero were taken to court by Raymond Hoser over their alleged misuse of the trademark Snakebuster. Accounts differ on the outcome, with one report stating that "Perth snake catcher and handler Bruce George can call himself "The Snakebuster" again after a judge dismissed the claims of Melbourne man Raymond Hoser"[1], and another (written by Mr. Hoser himself) claiming that the matter ended with Hoser "winning all court actions and related matters."[2]
