The classic is the Disney folk throwing lemmings off a cliff to simulate the non-existent lemming suicide instinct.
An Aussie travelogue maker apparently staged something less ambitious, merely throwing his dog from a helicopter.
You can just imagine what the alpha zebra would say when he sees yet another nature documentary film crew approach his herd:
"Oh, oh. Here they come again. Joe - it's your turn to get eaten by a lion. Sam - you're at the water's edge getting grabbed by a croc. Mary - your stripes really need a touch up. Stay at the back and out of sight, will you. And guys, try to make it look real this time. Remember your impro classes. I want to see rolling eyes and spittle. Okay, Places everyone! Let's do it!"
