Michael DeZubiria I would say that we can never have too many shows like this, but that's not really true. If we have a show like this in every city it would start to look like TV networks just cashing in on the latest trend, and I think the work that the people are doing on the show is far too important to be trivialized like that. I have only seen a few episodes, but it is always uplifting to see people whose lives are centered on seeing that animals receive humane treatment in a very human world. I have a feeling sometimes that people will watch the show and see something like several educated and professional people fretting over the well-being of a 24-hour old baby rabbit and think, "doesn't the world have enough rabbits already?" But the message of the show is that, especially in a society like America, humans are very much in control of the environment, particularly that of domesticated animals, and there are people who severely mistreat or neglect their animals and it's good to see that those animals are taken from those people, and as often as possible, the people are properly punished for their shabby behavior.I also like the way the show is structured. We see an introduction to a problem with an animal or some animals being maltreated or tortured or just living in an inhumane condition, and then the investigators go to check it out. Rather than just telling one story at a time, they introduce each story and then move on to the next, coming back to the different stories throughout the show and ultimately ending with a conclusion, which is as happy as circumstances allow. Generally the animals are treated and adopted into happier families, although there are cases where they have to be put to sleep.All my life I have had a very deep love of animals, so it's nice to see a show that is dedicated to their well being. The show is alternately heart wrenching and uplifting, and I like to think that even though there are only TV shows in a few cities, this kind of work is being done all over the country. Bravo!
InfernoJones This show follows the work of the dedicated Houston SPCA as they rescue and try to heal and adopt out all kinds of animals in the Houston Texas area.The depth of neglect can sometimes move you to tears, but the moments of happiness as they find homes for the animals, and you get to see them with with their new families can change the tears of sadness to joy! There's undeniably sad, sad moments... But so many, many more uplifting ones! For the most part watching leaves you with a good feeling about those who care about our animal friends. The workers have such hard jobs in the first place, and some of the efforts they have to make to rescue the animals are super-human! I've really gotten hooked on this show of late.*********************
MarieGabrielle This show picks up where "Animal Precinct" leaves off. (That was the show based in NYC).This show basically shows animals and farms in the Houston area, and the animals which must be rescued from horrible conditions and situations. Especially noteworthy are the segments which educate the audience about the weather, how dogs should not be left out in the heat; horses and the special care they require.What is so positive about this show is that it educates the audience, and is especially helpful if you have young children, who may want a pet but don't fully realize the responsibility.Usually the show concludes on a positive note, with an animal being adopted out to a good home. It is heartwarming to see the technicians, rescue crews, and veterinarians who are devoted to helping these animals. While some of the cruelty cases are shocking, this is an important subject that the public should be educated about. 9/10.
