Primate attacks sharkploitation

Regarding “Tame Is Lame” [Sept. 28], about TV programmers’ bias toward big brutes in wildlife films: As a supporter of the reintroduction of large predators to their former ranges, I found the attitudes expressed by Mr. Fairclough repugnant. All they do is cement in the public’s consciousness the idea that big predators have no place in the modern world. “Shark attacks,” “bear attacks,” “tiger attacks” -- one would think all these magnificent animals have on their minds is to harm any human who happens by.
