Easily

All in all i think the series had a good point and they delievered it well
at least i learned a lot about how cruel the zoo business really is in there
and how selfish and horrible people are

i really would've liked to see a more animal-focused version of the show and i think that the wildlife conservation aspect of it should've been more emphasized
bc now some dumb americans are gonna completely miss the point and want these cats to themselves (or at least continue romanticizing the idea of owning exotic animals)

Yes, it was a bit all over the place with most focus on the drama. It would've been really interesting to see a professional talk about the situation.

It's insane that so few people picked up on the fact that there are more tigers living & being bred in the US than there are tigers in the wild

big cats are not cute pets jfc
