Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

kyleamason Let me start by saying I think that people who torture and harm animals are sick and should definitely be punished. That aside, this program shows these officers and people stretching the definition of "animal abuse" to ridiculous proportions. Before watching this show, my first impression was that it is wonderful that society has taken a proactive stance against people who hurt animals and made a division of law enforcement specifically to stop it. After watching it I have mixed feelings about the people involved. One episode I remember, some ducks were in a parking lot some guy owned (but was rarely there), and one of them was sick. It ended up dying, and the people on the show were talking about how the results of why the duck died were inconclusive, and they were angry because they couldn't charge the owner with any crimes or tickets. I'm sorry but that's just insane - people now have criminal liability for animals that randomly come on their property and die? The same episode showed these two incompetent officers going after a cat and completely tearing this guy's apartment apart, wantonly destroying his property, and literally throwing boxes of his stuff across the room to get it out of their way.Some of the shows detail some pretty sick people, but at the same time, some of them go a little too far in their zeal to just find people to prosecute. Many of the shows I've seen, maybe it's just chance, were officers harassing poor people who were kind enough to take what little extra money they had and feed an animal or let it stay on the property. Then fining them or arresting them and acting like these normal, compassionate people who were of meager means and doing what they could were actually sadistic freaks because they couldn't afford to get some stray dog they were leaving scraps for a $8,000 kidney transplant.

MarieGabrielle This show is to be commended for addressing real issues and the dedicated ASPCA workers and officers who rescue these animals. Some of the situations witnessed on this program are upsetting, but as one officer mentioned, it helps her to tell herself that they are making a difference, one animal at a time, and the animals cannot speak for themselves.There are outright cases of abuse, but it is also hard to believe people may be unaware they are abusing an animal; for example if they are elderly, and have too many dogs in the apartment. The officers educate the person and the audience about what is best for the dog, or cat. Sometimes people cannot afford medical care, but that doesn't mean they should abandon the dog in the streets. Call the ASPCA and they will help. Everyone should watch this show.This series is one (rare) example where reality TV has done some good. It is not mindless games, or meaningless competitions set out to degrade the participants. It also educates those in the audience who may be considering buying a cat or dog, and not aware of the responsibility. Especially in the city, caring for a dog is a major commitment. Dogs are like children, and need attention and love. They should never be chained outside a junkyard, or anywhere. Thanks to the creators of this show for presenting a viewpoint in defense of animals. 10/10.

badMike I just love "Animal Precinct"! Yes, it's frequently depressing the way people treat their animals, but most episodes end happily with rehabilitated dogs, cats and everything else finding good homes with loving adoptive parents.I lived in NYC for three years and had no idea that there were anything such as "animal cops," but I'm glad to learn that they are out there arresting people for animal abuse.As other reviewers have noted, sometimes Annemarie appears to be the "star," but many times she doesn't even show up in an episode. And I think her partner Joanne Sandano is just as great and my real favorites are the "comic relief" team of Romano and Pentangelo. It's funny to see these tough NYC cop types get so mushy around the animals.Michael Madsen also does a great job with the voice over narration.

Thor2000 I've become especially fond of this show not just as a pet lover but as a person who once worked in a humane society. Sort of a cross of "Cops" and "Animal Kingdom," this show is one of THE shows to watch on Animal Planet along with "Animal Precinct" and "Croc Hunter." Much like the previous commenter, I too have become quite a fan of Anne Marie Lucas among the other officers on the show. This is an interesting show that reveals the true side of man's inhumane treatment of animals and for me, it's a very sobering reality.
