The Conservation Game

Exposes the horrible exploitation of exotic animals taking place in this country by famous people all under the guise of "conservation". We must put an end to this! Very informative and eye opening. If you care about animals at all you should see this movie!

This film evoked a lot of emotion out of me. The terror experienced by Big Cats, along with many other species, in the exotic animal trade is heartbreaking and unnecessary. I believe everyone should see this film to understand the cruel consequences of the selfishness of private ownership of animals who should be living wild and free. While it is not surprising that people continue to put money and fame before animal welfare, it is disgusting to watch. Tim Harrison did a great job investigating and I commend him for his dedication to end exotic animal exploitation.

As a supporter of the Big Cat Public Safety Act, I urge everyone to support it as well. It is time for these animals to get the respect and consideration that they so deeply deserve. The work of Carney Ann Nasser, Carole & Howard Baskin, Tim Harrison, and more is truly inspiring. I was already an advocate for Big Cats and other wildlife, and after watching this film I've become even more passionate about this cause.

Everyone should be aware of this cause and want to do something about it.

The film stays with the facts - that what I love about Mike's approach to his work. The utter, bare bones truth is what makes this interesting. It takes discipline and conviction in your direction to stay the course and let the truth tell the story. Really well done. It could have been an overglamourized hit piece on pop culture celebs but it stayed focused on the correct intent and meaning. Webber does it again.

There are more of them here in US than in their habitats. Powerful documentary, it's time for the authorities to start doing something about it. And it's also time to stop torturing those animals in TV shows and public appearances, the are afraid of humans and for a good reason.

You need to watch this. This made me cry many times. If you love big cats you need to see this. What Tim Harrison and the team have done is outstanding. A good example of what you see on TV is not always what it seems.
