What drives people to bring deadly animals into their homes as pets? This brand new series examines the most extraordinary pet attacks of recent years including Antoine Yates who didn't see anything wrong in keeping a 500 pound tiger in his New York apartment and raising an alligator in his bedroom, and Ted Dres who was bitten on the face and neck by his 13 foot pet python, which then, in a feeding frenzy, coiled around his neck and asphyxiated him as his horrified girlfriend looked on.

Each episode of Fatal Attractions focuses on a different group of animals - primates, reptiles, big cats - and reveals why people bring them into their homes, how the relationships develop and why, ultimately, these pets attack. Through their stories, bigger questions about human and animal relationships are uncovered. Are these attacks an expression of the animals' true nature or the result of the artificial environment and relationships created by humans? And can man and animal ever live together without the threat of danger hanging over them?
