king4wd Report post Posted December 2, 2010 For those of you who haven't seen this show, it follows game wardens in California and they catch poachers. Has potential to be a good show, but there was one little thing.... I was watching an episode of this the other day and there was something that I just couldn't get over. Here's the message I wrote to National Geographic. I wanted to let you know that I watched my first episode of Wild Justice and it seems to be a pretty good show. There was one thing that I just couldn't get past. The narrator of the show kept referring to these knuckle heads as "hunters". I would have to disagree with this statement as there is a big difference between hunters and poachers. Hunters are the good natured people that are going out and taking wildlife legally and ethically. They don't waste meat or shoot animals just for fun. I am an outdoorsman who falls into this category. I feel that everytime I hear the show refer to these criminals as hunters, it gives folks like me a bad name. It's like saying all olympic athletes are bad people, because Michael Phelps got caught smoking pot. I would suggest doing a plug in one of your shows talking about how there are ethical hunters out there and that these poachers represent a small number of the people out there looking for wildlife. Another suggestion would be to stop calling them hunters! Is it the Left Wing media agenda at work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GodIsGood Report post Posted December 5, 2010 technically wouldnt they have to call them SUSPECTS or POTENTIAL POACHERS until they have been arrested and convicted? If the show doesnt bastardize and vilify what they are doing - then some might get the notion that it would be fun to try... rather than terrified of the consequence. Either way all suspects are innocent until found guilty - which in the peoples republic of California could be another series all together. Why not just air a few episodes of "PAYBACK - ANIMALS HAD ENOUGH" ... where preditors gang up and maul would-be poachers on camera??? Id watch that!
