The Conservation Game

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.

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.

This is an amazing documentary about the disturbing lengths people will go to for their own selfish reasons. Tim and his crew do an amazing job at exposing the exploitation of animals done by so called conservationist and tv wildlife personalities. Along with the industries behind them including almost every late night talk show and Columbus zoo. Everyone involved in this animal exploitation should be in jail. Please watch this and educate yourself. These people on TV are not always who they say they are. I'll never understand how people can be so reckless with animal lives. Absolutely disgusting and heartbreaking to watch but so worthwhile and important.

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.
