The Conservation Game

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.

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.

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.

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!

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".
