If you think about it, without them the animalses would all die!

Yes, it's much better that tigers hang around in cages in London for our entertainment.Fuck, I'd rather die.

i remember seeing a panther paceing up and down in a cage when i was a kidi've never been back to a zoo. It seemed wrong to me even then. I know we are destroying their environment, that must be stopped.
The zoos should be less for entertainment value and more for preservation though.

Luckily I have never been to a "horrible" Zoo.I was at London on Friday, and talking to Jahled and some of the other volunteers there, they look after animals in an amazing way. Most of the animals are free to roam around where they want in their areas. Which is why my nephew nearly got eaten by a Golden Headed Tamarind :D

Zoos are essentially arks these days, places where we can monitor and protect species' gene poolswithout them most of the spectacular animals you see on documentaries would have died out in the wild
Human intrusion in their native habitats has simply made it impossible for most endangered animals to cope 'naturally' in the wild
I think tigers are quite content to live in an enclosure; fed like kings, vets on hand, and free from predators (humans), for me to marvel at
Bearing in mind the panthera can sleep for about twenty hours a day; it's not as if they need to rush around in a jungle

It kind of makes you wonder how those species got so amazing without us wonderful humans meddling in their shit for the last few million years. gronkpan @vomitinglarry.bsky.social,

Watching the Amazon program on the BBC,it was actually quite interesting to see some of the people who are "destroying" the Rainforest, and why they are doing it.
