Sarah (7800 KP) rated Louis Theroux: America’s Most Dangerous Pets in TV
May 9, 2020
I tried to watch the Tiger King series on Netflix and had to turn it off as the animal welfare side made me so angry! However I had to watch this to see how Louis tackled the issue. On the whole, as with all Louis docs, this is a rather stark and honest (yet brief) portrayal of these people with dangerous wild animals as pets. He does his usual mild mannered Englishman act to gain their trust and then throws out the pressing awkward questions we all want answers to. This in no way glamorise or play up these people like the Netflix doc seemed to do. I will admit that after having seen parts of the Netflix doc, I don't believe that Louis goes far enough. He could've pushed the questions and animal welfare issues a lot more and I think he really should've done.
Over here there are many people who criticise our zoos due to animal welfare, but i can really appreciate the conservation efforts of local zoos now especially when you compare them with the absolute craziness that goes on in the States. I mean no offence to any American friends, but only in the USA can people get away with owning wild animals like this as pets. It's disgraceful, and I wish this documentary had gone further to push these issues.

graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Abducted (Lizzy Gardner, #1) in Books
Feb 15, 2019
I was super impressed with this book: the construction, the fleshed out characters, the plotting, just about everything. Lizzy is a great protagonist who is strong, but has her weaknesses, she's disturbed but trying to be normal, she all around feels like a real human being. And she's not the only one, all the secondary characters are done just has well and serve a purpose. The only thing I didn't like was that the cat was a victim. I didn't really feel it was necessary, and I have cats, so I don't want to read about animals being hurt or killed in books. Most especially if it doesn't add anything. Otherwise I would totally recommend the book to those who enjoy mysteries and thrillers with realistic characters.

To think, one man, after watching a bullfight, brought animals hope where they knew only pain and suffering.
To be truly honest, I had never heard of Henry Bergh. We've all heard of the ASPCA--I've even donated to them over the years--and yet I had no idea Mr. Bergh was the man we owe our gratitude to for its founding. Not only that, but he started reforming the laws governing children, as well. He's such an influential person of history, and his contributions are still alive and well to this day. I would be greatly interested to see this made into a movie, as more people need to know about how this man's story.
