Operation Wild (Planet Green)
common sense media says
Rescuing Florida wildlife makes for fairly tame reality TV.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that although this law enforcement reality series follows officers from Florida’s Fisheries and Wildlife Commission as they go on patrol and rescue, remove, and relocate sometimes-dangerous animals, overall it's pretty tame. People are sometimes shown lying to officers and/or getting into heated arguments with them, and attempts to rescue drowning victims aren’t always successful, but nothing overly graphic is shown. The show frequently reminds viewers that people are innocent until proven guilty, but those who transgress the law face consequences for their actions.
Positive role models:
The officers seem to genuinely care about the environment and the people and animals the're helping. Some folks lie to the officers when they’ve violated the law but are usually caught, so suffer consequences for their actions.
Violence:
Trapped animals sometimes snap at or attempt to attack officers. Resuscitation efforts to save injured victims are partially visible; at least one person drowns (but the person’s face and identifying features are blurred). Arrests are made, but the show reminds viewers that people are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Sex:

Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
People are occasionally accused of being intoxicated while fishing and/or operating boats.
