    Explosive documentary

    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.

    Don't be surprised if you see a big cat in your backyard

    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.

    Eye opening

    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!

    Tim Harrison and crew ROCK!

    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.

    Powerful Documentary

    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.
