It was a spectacularly good programme and the effects and stuff were startling and brilliant, and on HD it was breathtaking....but it did upset me in parts...(but as my fella pointed out, it's nature... and the animals are hunting for food and not for sport like us horrid humans!) The bit where the wolves were chasing the buffalo was a bit upsetting,..... they ran away, and one fell behind, and the wolves started to corner it, and then one of the buffalo herd slammed into the weak buffalo so the wolves could get it, so the rest of the pack could get away, .... that made me want to cry...
especially as it was only a baby...
I guess in the wild, it really IS the 'survival of the fittest' and there is no emotion involved. It was a case of 'the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.' That one buffalo was sacrificed to save the rest. Sad, but a necessity, and that poor poor seal who got hounded by the whales and then dragged down...
