I watched a Nat Geo documentary called "Into the Okavango". It's a very interesting story about a recent expedition that followed a river from it's headwaters all the way to the delta. They covered about 2000 miles in canoes and it took four months. It was a scientific expedition and they gained a lot of new information, including discovering 28 new species along the way. Lots of good information, until...

The first hint of trouble was when the leader of the expedition pointed out a small sapling that had survived in an area that had been heavily fed on by a Bull Elephant. He says that it was intentionally left as a conservation effort by the Bull so the area would grow back up. :wacko: Sorry Pal, it doesn't work that way... and you know it. You just lied.

Then the big one. They find an abandoned elephant poachers camp with a large amount of elephant remains. He says two sentences in conjunction that is not quite a lie, but is clearly meant to mislead the viewer.

"This is illegal elephant hunting."

a three of four second pause

"People from all over the world come to Africa so they can shoot an elephant. Mostly from America."

He obviously wants the viewer to believe this was done by American hunters. I now know that nothing presented in this documentary is trustworthy and the expedition leader is a lying POS. :frusty:
