Although well filmed with some stunning photography, there are many half truths and lies contained in this film, just like most things that come out of Texas.
You get a taste of this early in the film, when the narrator states that the ocelot is near extinction, but is not receiving any help because the ranchers on whose land they reside are afraid of the Endangered Species Act and how it will affect their profits, so they refuse to allow any research or support of any kind. Ignorance is bliss in Texas.
As much as this film deserves kudos for trying to highlight the plight of many vulnerable species in Texas, it will not change the fact that most Texans have no sympathy for any of these species, and will not lift a single finger to do anything that they think will impede their chase after the almighty dollar.
Nothing good ever came out of Texas. Don't expect them to change. Governor Abbott's idiotic policies around "the wall" on the southern border are not only illegal, but have already doomed numerous species to extinction with more to follow. Those species that do not succumb to starvation, dehydration and disease will likely die from another Texas plague: more firearms than any other place on earth.
