Sometimes animals from abusive situations end up at the zoo and sometimes we hear about it, but no abuse is directly shown.

One of the elephants seen on the show was the subject of a 2022 court case alleging abuse. The zoo argued that they were providing appropriate care and the court agreed. This briefly comes up on the show.

This series is primarily about animal enrichment and veterinary care. A number of animals die, including a snow leopard and a tiger; the former is euthanized when extremely sick and suffering from a neurological infection, and the tiger dies under anesthesia. However, the care taken for every one of these animals is extraordinary, and it’s clear that their quality of life is the only consideration — cost is no object. Animal death is clearly extremely emotional for the caretakers and vets involved, and they feel the loss of these animals deeply.

Please clarify — these votes may be for a different show, there’s a horror movie called The Zoo as well. Torture doesn’t make sense in a veterinary care documentary.

There are no plane crashes on this show. There are very few planes (occasionally used to transport animals).

Animals getting medical care, sometimes you see a little bit of blood and gore. It's fairly obvious when it's coming because they'll be talking about what they will be doing before they do it.
