The Conservation Game Film

I just saw something about a film called "The Conservation Game". So far it looks like yet another film demonizing zoos, as well as Jack Hanna. Take a look.

So it is not demonizing zoos. It is a film in the wake of Tiger King attacking facilities that use cubs for profit. Its side sanctuary Lions, Tigers, and Bears teaches people how to tell which animal sanctuaries are moral and which abuse animals. For the Jack Hanna bit as far as I can see there is no bias against him but the movie hasn't been released yet so I can't fully tell. What they are saying is an undercover cop saw him participating in a big cat auction. They didn't present any evidence but once again I haven't seen the movie so it's too early to tell. But overall no this is not anti-zoo, it is anti-big cat trade and possibly anti-Jack Hanna.

There's a review here: The Conservation Game: The real Tiger King

It appears that the movie isn't about zoos as such, but about "celebrity animal handlers" and animal auctions. It will get attached to "see, zoos are bad and evil" by those people who will do that with anything, but the movie in itself doesn't seem to be doing that.
