The Conservation Game

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.

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.

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 shatters ideas and beliefs about practices that have been passed off as "conservation" on an American public apparently willing to take celebrities at their word. Excellent piece, chock full of facts that anyone concerned with the preservation of these beautiful animals needs to be aware of.

10 minutes in and I was hooked. I had assumed that animals appearing on TV talk shows were actually cared for and that there were zoos that insured their safety when they "grew out of cute". Wait 'till you see what goes on in the exotic animal industry and why federal legislation is essential. Great editing, pacing and development. Harrison's law enforcement background makes for compelling dialog. His team is a collection of dedicated professionals who turn their talents to cracking the wall surrounding the corruption, abuse and secrecy within the exotic animal industry. Find out for yourself why "The Conservation Game" needed to be made and viewed.
