ShangLuda Admirable film.
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
effess-02912 I love, love, love this show. It's better than the other animal cops locations - Philly, Mama, Phoenix, San Francisco, etc.. My gripe is there are no new episodes;. they're all before 2011 in my viewing area ( Austin, TX - Spectrum cable) on Animal Planet .
eaglesfan-99019 I just wanted to post this review to say that I love Animal Cops Houston. I watch this show everyday,and I love it. I have so much respect for what they do. I feel like anyone who neglects and or abuses animals should be given the strictest consequence. I have no respect for people who do that. I have a beagle border collie mix, and she is my world. She is 2 yrs old and I got her from Texas. I love animals so much. I said that when we go to visit my girl friends mom in Waco that I would like to stop to see the animal's at the Houston Shelter. Thank you guys for everything you do and showing how much you care for animals. I think you guys are the best and you have the best rewarding jobs. Keep Animal Cops Houston on the air....and I would love to meet the whole cast if we come by that way.
Robert W. Anderson I support the idea of this show and all the others from other cities ( Detroit,New York, etc.). But like the one from San Francisco this one can be frustrating. The officers working at the protection of animals in Houston aren't deputized like the officers in Detroit, and New York, Those officers have arrest and seizure powers and that can allow them to take immediate action, especially when the animals life is at stake. And immediate treatment can be the difference between life and death. In Texas these officers can only observe what's going on, and report back. They can warn owners they can't speak with by posting a notice but they can't even rescue animals they can see and get to, even if that animal is dying. It can be very frustrating to watch. There are numerous episodes where officers keep going back and observe animals starving or dying of thirst and all they can do is post notices until a specified period of time goes by. So while San Francisco goes to far to the left, Texas does better at protecting individual rights but doesn't go far enough to really protect the animals. New York should be a national model for how this mission should be done. This show does have some scenes that can be difficult to watch, it's any important message and should be watched. THe bad scenes are offset by the animals they are able to save and place in new and caring homes. The hope is that people will watch and then support these agencies, and push for better humane law enforcements.
MarieGabrielle This show picks up where "Animal Precinct" leaves off. (That was the show based in NYC).This show basically shows animals and farms in the Houston area, and the animals which must be rescued from horrible conditions and situations. Especially noteworthy are the segments which educate the audience about the weather, how dogs should not be left out in the heat; horses and the special care they require.What is so positive about this show is that it educates the audience, and is especially helpful if you have young children, who may want a pet but don't fully realize the responsibility.Usually the show concludes on a positive note, with an animal being adopted out to a good home. It is heartwarming to see the technicians, rescue crews, and veterinarians who are devoted to helping these animals. While some of the cruelty cases are shocking, this is an important subject that the public should be educated about. 9/10.
