Anyone see the "Investigative Report"

?

I did not. I got the impression it was going to be a series, not a single show? I had intended to watch it though. I hope it's not a hackjob, there's enough legit material there already...

I could only stand 5 minutes. It was, right up to the "wincing" Congressman Cohen from TN.

Doug,
It's animal planet. What did you expect?
They are Ok with a lion eating a Zebra but not you having a Zebra rug.
They all believe in "MAN Made Climate change" and think the world would be better off if humans were not here.
I am sure 90% of the producers and managment are both vegitarians and belieive in the PETA end goal of no Pets and that would include all captive animals for any reason, including blood sports.

I think you're right....but how do they explain River Monsters?

Catching fish for the sake of TV?

But it is catch and release. He does use barbed hooks.

My guess is he is independently wealthy and a major contributor. I get sick of "Pigs gonewild" and the trapping and gently hauling away 80% of the pigs

...crumps! Man up and have a barbeque!!

What did parents that lived on a farm tell their kids? "Sparky went to go live in a big city and is living the soft life in a town house"
"Sparky is moving to the city to be the night guard dog at the milk bone factory"....

Sorry , No.
That farm was sold and is now a subdivision. Last I heard he was on the Harris Farm in Oriental NC. Spending his days swimming in Dawson's creek and chasing rabbits.

There are a bunch of other Beagles there with him. He is having a tail wagging butt sniffing good time.

Have ya'll seen the hogs gone wild with the guy from Austrailia? They try to bow hunt, sometimes connect. Other episodes they catch hogs with dogs and then tie them up and make comments about relocating them. Relocating feral hogs? Maybe to my deep freeze or the smoke house. Smoked ham is very nice.

Recently they were on ATV's (riding two up on a single seat ATV, no helmets or protective clothing) chasing hogs and firing a gun with a big net that would capture the hogs. After a successful netting or two, they crashed the ATV. The Austrailian guy was transported by EMS to a hospital, shot up with drugs, fitted in a corsette and returned to catch some alleged monster hog. What ever.
