That would be the magical combination of human greed and human gullibility. Individuals en masse (!?) are to blame; they could refuse the influence, if they could be bothered.
I like proper ducumentaries. I don't give a stuff about 'drama-docs', nor about so-called wildlife dicumentaries that are set in safari parks or zoos. That's just lazy.
