Do you remember a looooonnnnng time ago, when Disney had a TV show on every Sunday night called The Wonderful World of Disney? I loved that show when I was a kid. I loved allll the nature/animal programs.
Flash forward many decades and televisions later (2006) and the BBC introduced Planet Earth. Wasn't that incredible? Some of the footage they shot was just breathtaking. By the end of the series though, I had one beef. WHY was it necessary to show so much killing?? Did it improve the program by showing a baby elk getting killed by a pack of wolves? I hate that. I still hate it.
There's a new show on Netflix called Our Planet. I got about 20 minutes into the first episode and they had already shown a baby bison get attacked and eaten and this poor, completely pitiful flamingo chick, dying. I bet there is some magnificent footage and things I've never seen, included in the series. But now I'm not going to watch it because I know every segment is going to end in death. And if you have small children, why the hell do you want them to see that? Don't take their joy away!!!
