I love watching David Attenborough documentaries!. I think the way he's opened our eyes..not just to how beautiful and intelligent the natural world is....but the danger it's also facing!!..I could watch predators single out the weakest or vulnerable...This whole "Survival of the fittest" scenario. That's not sad to watch,..It's nature. But I can't watch deforestation, roads dividing natural habitat, resulting in road kill...and the population building into wild spaces...They're assuming life will adapt to the human world!..Humans are providing fruits and food for animals.. They could be more dependent on us, in the same way the average seagull is found in the city scavaging rather than out at sea catching their own prey ...So?..what if an alpha male chimpanzee goes near your child holding food?.....It's a difficult one??...animals are unpredictable!!....larger animals!!..(elephants, rhinoceros!!).....There's no doubt with a growing population, destruction and pollution...more animals will be made endangered....I would like to do my part for nature!!
Attenborough is a dilemma for me. He started off collecting animals from their natural environment and taking them the Whipsnade and London Zoo. That was Zoo Quest.
I get no fascination out of watching one animal eating another to survive. Something morbid about that. Attenborough just reads the scripts.
