When Wildlife TV Programs Hurt the Wildlife (Op-Ed)

Marc Bekoff | January 31, 2014 11:25pm ET

Marc Bekoff, emeritus professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder, is one of the world's pioneering cognitive ethologists, a Guggenheim Fellow, and co-founder with Jane Goodall of Ethologists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Bekoff's latest book is Why Dogs Hump and Bees Get Depressed (New World Library, 2013). This Op-Ed is adapted from two that appeared in Bekoff's column Animal Emotions in Psychology Today. He contributed this article to LiveScience's Expert Voices: Op-Ed & Insights.

I like to believe that animal abuse in film and television is a thing of the past, but it isn't. In a recent essay, I reported on well-documented abuse in Hollywood and that the phrase "No Animals Were Harmed" is a myth.
