Well...there goes the respect that I had for Jack Hanna.

I enjoy watching his show from time to time, but he can bite me for his stance on "fracking". A Conservationist should be concerned about the planet as well as the critters which inhabit it.

Hanna also said he supports hydraulic fracking to unlock natural gas deposits in shale deposits deep underground.

Hanna operates a private, non-profit conservation center, called The Wild, on nearly 10,000 acres of reclaimed mine land in rural southeastern Ohio, which has natural gas fracking adjacent to it.

"I have no problem with Marcellus Shale," Hanna said. "We need the resource, and we can't be captives to our environment."

He plans to incorporate the fracking sites near his conservation center into his tours.
