Dying/Injured creatures in Nature Shows - Question.? I watch alot of nature documentaries on Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, and National Geographic and wonder why they always film the animals dying rather than helping them. I realize that there may be laws prohibiting them, but alot of these species are endangered. You think the people filming would have animal experts nearby who could help save them instead of filming a poor cheetah starving underneath a bush. It%26#039;s valuble cubs later became a feast for hyenas to snatch at. I know it%26#039;s nature, but come on! They complain about saving animal populations but I dont see much saving going on in these shows.

It was injured from a hunting accident. Those cubs could have been raised and bred to benefit the cheetah population.

A poor cheetah starving ...is it because she%26#039;s not fit to hunt ? Then is she fit to survive ? What is the point of helping her if she isn%26#039;t fit to hunt in the first place ? It will just all go back to square one again after she has been assisted. If she isn%26#039;t a good hunter , very likely her offsprings has her genes and won%26#039;t be fit to survive in the wild.As a result , the hyenas has a feast , otherwise would the poor hyenas starve to death ? Aren%26#039;t they threatened too ? People need to understand the reality of nature. In the Blue Planet , the killer whales hunt and eat seals , so shall one dive to the seals%26#039; rescue and let the whales starve ?
