All those wildlife documentaries are voyeuristic animal porn.

"We can never really know if animals are giving consent, but they often do engage in forms of behaviour which suggest they'd rather not encounter humans, such as running away or building a burrow.

"The question constantly posed by wildlife documentaries is how animals should be filmed, they never ask whether animals should be filmed at all.

"There are many activities which animals engage in which are common to wildlife documentary stories but which are rendered extremely private in the human realm.

"Mating, giving birth, and dying are recurring characteristics in nature documentaries, but the human version of these activities remains largely absent from broadcasting."


Stop looking at animals unless you have their consent.
