The Conservation Game

At times, there are efforts so great with results so profound, one feels unworthy to give any form of criticism. The "who am I to judge card" comes into play here. Writing reviews can, at best, be helpful to others - documenting and rectifying crimes committed "by humanity" is leagues apart.

The Conservation game is a must see - more to the point it is a must do. Unfortunately many of the "must dos" never get done... yet somehow we always expect somebody to pull through, to stand up, to have the true grit and courage to deliver; deliver what we feel we have the right to know., deliver when blatant wrongdoings are somehow missed out.

Tim Harrison, Michael Webber & co have performed their must do. If they have the energy one can hope they have more must dos on their bucket list - if they have not, they can rest assured that they have, well and truly, risen to the call of humanity.

This is an extraordinary documentary. Documentaries record events, often sad and tragic events. It takes something extra to go beyond taking notes. To not merely settle for documenting a sorry state of affairs - but to also be instrumental in change for the better.

In the best of worlds The Conservation Game stretches even further - inspiring others to turn "must does" into "have dones".

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.

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.

I saw the documentary in the theater when it came to San Diego. I had no idea what to expect. It blew me away. I had no idea that the famous so-called Conservationists, we're involved in the exotic animal trade. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

I came away with a new found "fury" that this is happening all over the world. Truly saddens and angers me. We have to stop the pay-to-play that is happening in AZA zoos and roadside "zoos" and hold these people accountable.
