I Live For This Show (and the shows w/animal cruelty shouldn't be banned


I live for this show. Despite the stubborn fools that control the scheduling at my local PBS station [The worst in the country. (The best are WETA - channel Globetrekker originates on, Boston and Seattle are the best)]
I now live for Friday nights (used to be Saturday nights) where after a weeks long work I get to watch the reason for all my hard work, to sometimes go to all the places that the Globetrekkers go to and be free. This show is among the best most intelligent travel shows out there. Motion was good too. Anthony Bordaine is an overfunded ignoramus that can't help but enter his stupid New Yorker opinions and biases.

As far as the animal cruelty thing. Nothing should be censored in an objective travel show. Showing the instances of animal cruelty in some cultures keeps the show objective and also exposes it to the world so that enough people know about it to maybe put a stop to it. Ignoring it, like ignoring all atrocity is how it PERSISTS. Get it? Things must be exposed. What's more is any time you eat meat you are committing cruelty so unless you are prepared to slaughter your own meat, cut its head off while it stares at you pleading with you, and rip it's bloody guts out then you should not be eating meat. And if you actually did do that you'd eat a hell of a lot less. And yes I have. Finally, if you are worried about cruelty, worry about what our governments are doing in the middle east which will cause the rest of our lives to be threatened and a world of peace further away from.
