On the home page under Top Video #5. (The video of TCB talking about the kats getting TB and how the kats get lumps around their throats when they get TB.) Here is what upset me. They show Flower after she has been bitten with her little head all swollen! What are they talking about? Why would they show that shot of her when talking about TB?

I'd love to know if anyone can answer this.

The producers edited this part out, because posters became really upset. They wanted to show the effects of the disease on the glands (they get swollen), and although showing the Flower clip was not the best choice, they thought that the condition of her face looked similar.

It's still there. I just saw it this morning. Bad choice on the producers' part. Bad choice.

Thanks for the explanation.

I just watched the video and they took the part of Flower out of the video. This was done last week. It is just talking about the TB with TCB....

Hi chris,

I don't know what you guys are watching, but I just clicked on it again this morning and Flower is still in it.

This is where I'm finding it:

On the main page, look over to the right at TOP VIDEO...go down to #5. Right after TCB puts his hand up to his neck it goes to a pic of Flower standing sideways, then walking away to the left of the camera.

It's still there. I wish I knew what you all are seeing.

This is the link for the page that I'm on. I can't get a link to video #5...it's just on that page to the right.

I'm amazed that I'm the only one who can see this. I know I'm not seeing things.

Tammy, I'm not positive about this, but I understand that some of the footage used in the JE episode of Flower may have been a stand in. They did remove some of the footage that we saw on JE, so I can only assume that the other meerkat they show is a victim of TB. I do think they used that footage in JE as well as the more disturbing footage that was removed.

Just a theory.

Yes, the footage that I'm looking it is what I saw in JE. So, ok, maybe that kat is some poor little think with TB that they showed in JE as Flower.

Jeesh, I don't know what to believe anymore.

tammynshae, I just clicked on your link and yes, I did see the shot of Flower after being bitten by the cape cobra. Does anyone have the edited link with Flower not in it? Would appreciate it.

I used the link on the Friday that it was shown. He talks about who wrote the TB question, so I used that one. This one has been edited to not show it. Someone should tell him that it is still on. How sad....he should have all of the other links deleted.

It was not edited yet.
