Wow. As an animal rights enthusiast, this film was incredibly sad to watch. The viewer cannot help but side with Tim Harrison, with his compassionate and also passionate drive to help animals under all circumstances. I don't know how he was even able to restrain himself every time he tried to hold a conversation with Terry. Terry was presented in this movie as being very ignorant and selfish, and I don't doubt that this is how he was outside of filming towards the exotic animals he called his "pets". Him and thousands of other exotic pet owners are not even giving a thought to how these wild animals feel as "pets", something easily controlled and put in horrible circumstances. This, along with the public safety concerns surrounding the majority of large and/or poisonous animals, is why it is crucial that the ownership of exotic animals needs to be banned in North America. Especially considering many of these animals are put in stressful situations and are endangered. This movie really gives the viewer something to think about.
