Those who know where I got this topic from...hush laugh.gif

So...what is your opinion on the zoo? Now...think about it for a sec. Is it right for animals to be penned up in a cage so people can oogle at them and throw them feed for that 25 cents? Everyone says its educational..but who doesn't know what a monkey looks like? Isn't an encyclopedia a better alternative source to knowing what certain animals look like and their background information? By having them shoved into cages, we are ruining their lifestyle...we feed them food and have them just stand around doing nothing...if that animal were to be sent out to the wild...it wouldn't survive. And let's not forget about the offspring...undergoing an artificial lifestyle, it would impact them heavily also. Is it worth ruining the lifestyles of various animals for the pure sake of "wanting to know what [so-and-so] looks like in real life?"...I don't think that really balances out.

hey what a coincidence i was just thinking about this. umm i recently went to six flags great adventure in NJ and they have this new section called "Golden Kingdom" and they have a little exhibit for these tigers i guess there are 3 types of them inside. and im wondering why their areas to play are soo small i saw like at least like 5 -7 of them inside one area and i defintaley dont think its right.

so later on me and my friend decide to watch the show. they bring out the tigers to play and they do a whole presentation on one of the types of tigers that they showed and they said that there are only 30 of them in the world as of right now and 2 of them are at six flags.i forgot what type of tigers were they but i think they were called bengle tigers i dunoo something around that. i was like oh. and they also stated that all of those tigers are in captivity.

im kind of on both sides. i think its bad and good. like i guess most of the rare extinct animals are kept there to keep them alive and help breed the animals. but then again if animals are kept in captivity, they wouldnt be able to survive in the real world. Animals would only learn how to live on their own by watching their own parents and if those animals are taken how are they going to learn?

so im kind of for good and bad.
