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.

if the zoo animals are like those in the movie madagascar laugh.gif

i think we shouldnt put animals in zoos, they belong in the wild. wouldnt it be fun if marsians attack one day and take some of us to a human zoo over in mars? rolleyes.gif

if they really want to see those animals, they should go to their habitats to see. i went to kenya and i saw a lion digging his head into a buffalows tummy.. crazy.gif
