I don\'t.
I hate seeing all those animals caged up and when you look in their eyes you see 1 of 2 things.
Either I want to eat you or What the
**** is going on here?
I don\'t like an animal looking at me with either of those looks.
i think and always have thought they were wrong. especially those poor
**** polar bear!
I\'m not really into zoo\'s................ I don\'t even agree with domesticated pets.
It\'s an animal prison. Except the hippo\'s... they look like they\'re having a blast.
Bronx zoo polar bears have the \'what the
**** is going on here?\' but the sea lions seem to be having fun. I cant say im fond of zoos at this point. ony two ive been to are Bronx and Staten Island and majority of the animals are not lookin like they want to be there.
it depends on the animal and the enclosure its given. to most animals, life in the wild is an intense struggle to survive. every living moment is devoted to calorie acquisition and preservation to increase the chances of reproduction; how can i survive long enough to make the most offspring? I n a zoo animals are given a constant supply of food with no selection pressure. if they are healthy, they will survive and often be given a chance to reproduce. Much like domesticated animals they have enough free time to be lazy and take on personalities like our cats and dogs. If the enclosure is adequate, a zoo can be a luxurious experience for most wildlife.
problems are:
lack of exercise
insufficient area of enclosure
lack of social stimuli
lack of privacy
at the indianapolis zoo there was a single male lion in a relatively small enclosure. the sign mentioned how lions are social animals and live in prides composed of many indiviaduals, i felt bad for the poor guy.
i also typically don\'t like bird setups, theres just not enough flying space.
i think that the lincoln parkzoo in chi town has a great setup for the apes, lots of room and stuff to do
i like zoos unless they are hag
I love zoos! It\'s great that we can be so close to exotic animals. I think, for the most part, the owners and operators do their best to take care of the animals. I am sure it\'s difficult to know exactly what each animal needs to be comfortable & exist, but at least they\'re safe & cared for at the zoo!
:hscratch: btw, what do the zoos own, leith?
\'s = possession, or contraction
Do You like Zoo\'s?
Of course I do, why do you think I\'m here almost every day?
wheres jocelyn on this matter...she has a zoo in her own home
The last time we were at the Zoo we found it to be depressing.
I would much prefer that the animals be in their natural environment.
I think saving animals through zoos is cool. But capturing and taking them out of their natural surroundings for the sole purpose of being put on display is wrong IMHO.
If they have been rescued or they are trying to save the species it is more understandable but I think it is just a real reminder that we (humans) for the most part have destroyed their habitats.
I guess I wish they were not necessary.
what about animals that have been bread in captivity?
the most exciting thing about being bread is the risk of getting eaTEN
While I am young, hip, and with it, I\'d like to go adventuring to see these animals from a distance where they really live.
That\'s one of the things I like about hunting; you emerse yourself in their world...then kill them.
I think that game reserves are the coolest uber zoos around.
i find the Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport to be VERY depressing. The animals don\'t seem to be well cared for. Roger Willaims Zoo in Rhode Island is very nice and the animals there seem a little but more functioning. Bbbut the whole idea of zoos makes me slightly torn. I think its great we can view animals we may never see in person, but then again, what gives us that right?
I do enjoy aquariums. Sea animals always seem so happy.
