Animal Precinct (Animal Planet)
common sense media says
ASPCA agents rescue neglected pets. Not for kids.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that many scenes of animal neglect and abuse in this show are very graphic and could upset kids. Animals featured include dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses, and many are ill and/or injured when the agents arrive. When questioned, the offenders often are unremorseful and seem unmoved by the animals' dire straits. The show exposes viewers to a little-known group of officials and reminds us how much all facets of law enforcement rely on the public for information.
Violence:
Graphic scenes of animals who have been neglected, hurt, or starved. Some suspects physically resist arrest.
Sex:
Not applicable.
Language:
Occasional uses of "damn" or "hell," but stronger words are edited out.
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Scenes sometimes include subjects or onlookers smoking or drinking beer.

It's an OK show...
Animal Precinct is really a good show. I'd recomend it for kids 10 and up, and any kid who plans on being an animal control officer when they grow up; personally I want to start a small-scale animal documentary business. My first film would be about my favorite animals, MEERKATS!!! But, back to the show. Language can be an issue for kids that repeat EVERYTHING they hear, sometimes they say the D word and H word, and Violence is a bit of an issue, too. Sometimes the offenders freak-out when they get arrested; in one episode, a guy tried to break free from the officers because he was "in jail" for a week and the animals had to be left alone(they we're two dogs & some pups, the female was amaciated and the male had expired)and he thought that he did'nt deserve to be arrested. He broke two fingers on one O' the agents and the other suffered a minor concussion. Overall, it's a good show: some language and violence, but a good show.

Must See for Animal Lovers
Many parts of this show, like Animal Cops, is very hard to watch, but I think it's important for young and old to view what indifference and cruelty does to animals. After all, if you can be cruel to an animal, a child could be next.
This show also manages to be uplifting. To see how people take these animals and turn their lives around is truly heartwarming. I know that for myself, I find that I donate to these groups much more than I ever did and I promote adoping shelter dogs over pet shops and breeders. Please keep these shows on the air!
