“Killing is all they know. All they live for”.

JACARE’-1942-This documentary concerns animal handler Jim Dannalson, a protege’ of Frank “Bring 'em Back Alive” Buck. Director Charles E. Ford shot three weeks worth of footage along the Amazon while Dannalson collected and wrestled several animals including an anaconda. He admitted the caiman and jaguar he wrestled had their jaws wired shut. All the footage at least was shot for JACARE' and not stock from something else. Frank Buck narrates and audiences at the time probably thought it pretty shocking. 

This is Donnalson's only outing as an actor but he later provided animals, reptiles and insects for movies, including the snakes in THE HILLS HAVE EYES (1972).
