that's why everytime i go to a zoo, i bring a boltcutter and free as many animals as i can.
I thought your profile looked familiar. There's a poster of you up front.
He wouldn't know what to do with himself if he was free..
Ooooh. i'm sure he'd figure SOMETHING out. Probably be throwing his poo everywhere he wasn't able to previously.
Actually, I've read that animals would love to be in a zoo. You get fed regularly and you don't have to worry about predators EVER. Have you seen most zoo animals? Totally chill.
Me, too. I have kind of a love/hate feeling about the zoo.
I close all zoo…and Green Hill! Freedom for all animals!
It is documented that some zoo animals that escape, end up returning to the zoo.
+Nathaniel Russell That was a Disney movie… 😉
I think too often we associate zoos with prison. But animals are probably safer in a zoo than a person would be in a prison.
Did the Mom die in that Disney movie too?
"one who is willing to sacrifice freedom for security is deserving of neither" or something like that.
I don't think animals want freedom. Freedom means having to find food, always being aware of predators, exposure to the elements.
i don't think animals who woke up one day in the zoo, checked in their on their own looking for an easy meal and a roof over their heads either.
There are pros and cons to zoos. I believe in them. I think promoting awareness of animals and the world around us is a good thing. My preference would be that animals in the zoo are ones that are born in captivity or for some reason from the wild but unable to return (injury or inability to be reintegrated socially). I like to see as natural as possible habitats for the animals and more policing in the zoo to make sure idiots are not tormenting the animals or feeding them contrary to their diets.
i have no problem with zoos at ALL. in fact, i eat animals. All kinds of animals. I just don't like the mythology that the animals LOVE the zoos. They probably don't, and most would be better off if i ate them.
Dear +Nathaniel Russell Have you ever spoken with an animal? Do you know what it means not to live free? Have you ever lived in segregation? How can you say with such placid things similar?
I think zoos are a necessary evil,
since there are so many of us
taking up their land, and, and…
And not all animals taste like chicken…
thank goodness! I would hate it if all animals "tasted like chicken". I like chicken, but i want my beef liver to taste like liver. I want my scallops to taste like scallops. I want my peacock to taste like peacock, but zebra ass still tastes like shit.
If I was a gorilla I would like to mess with the kids by pushing my face against the glass..
Wait..I do that now..
+Aldric Newberry I think that was in a movie…
My home movies +Mai'ta L'yeya Nava .. 🙂
I've "lived free" backcountry hiking in Colorado. Not finding water is not a fun experience. I doubt most people would want to "live free".
I won't argue about whether zoos are good or bad, just that I believe animals are for the most part are content.
