Dove Review

This documentary features the nationally-loved Betty White and her love for animals of all kinds. She shares that her parents loved animals and passed that passion on to her. Betty has used her fame and wealth to protect animals. In this documentary we see animals of every kind as Yellowstone National Park in Northwest Wyoming is visited as are the Everglades in Florida. Africa is another location featured in the film.

The movie contains scenes of animals being shot with tranquilizer darts, mainly due to caretakers checking on their needs. The film moves on to the dark side of human nature as we see poachers and then poachers being shot at! We also see men putting roosters in cock fights and dogs who fight and are physically wounded. In one graphic scene we see a rhino minus a face because it has been removed for its horn. In another graphic scene a seal pup’s bloody face and body is observed.

Because the more pleasant scenes outshine the dark ones, this movie has been awarded our Dove Seal for ages twelve plus.
