desdamona Report post Posted November 29, 2006 (edited) i love all animals so much hate them in zoos and loathe animal testing this song makes me cry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OT0si_X1a3A...ted&search= do you think zoos should be banned ? MANIC STREET PREACHERS LYRICS "Small Black Flowers That Grow In The Sky" You have your very own number They dress your cage in its nature Once you roared now you just grunt lame Pace around pathetic pound games Wanna get out won't miss you sensaround To carry your own dead to swing your tyre tricks Wanna get out here you're bred dead quick For the outside, The small black flowers that grow in the sky They drag sticks along your walls Harvest your ovaries dead mothers crawl Here comes warden, Christ, temple, elder Environment not yours you see through it all Wanna get out won't miss you sensaround To carry your own dead to swing your tyre tricks Wanna get out here you're bred dead quick For the outside, The small black flowers that grow in the sky Here chewing your tail is joy....................these lyrics are so true Edited November 29, 2006 by desdamona Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kat Report post Posted November 29, 2006 i wouldn't say that all zoos should be banned... a lot of them take in injured animals and try to make them better, and they usually end up having to keep them there b/c if they let them back into the wild they'd die. I understand that there are some zoos out there that treat animals like crap, but some are really dedicated to the animals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dushan Report post Posted November 29, 2006 I agree that not all zoos should be banned. A zoo which exploits its collection solely for the purpose of making money or 'amusing' the public should be closed immediately and without option. Many zoos are actively involved in breeding and study programmes which may help to prevent the extinction of some rare species from the wild. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
desdamona Report post Posted November 29, 2006 (edited) i agree that there should be breeding programs for animals on the verge of extinction but and a big but some zoos are profit making scams that make animals suffer ,ive seen a bear driven mad in a pit of concrete and it drove me to make a stand outside the zoo that got me arrested ,i was informing the public of this atrocity and the so called zoo didnt like it,having said that ive been arrested for sabbotaging a fox hunt to so alls good Edited November 29, 2006 by desdamona Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
conavar Report post Posted December 6, 2006 Lol hunt sabatour Des well done i must agree im totally against fox hunting but saying that my girlfriend hunts wild rabbits with her hawks and i find that acceptable because its what happens in nature (if they wernt captive the hawks would still hunt the rabbit) where as fox hunting is just a past time cant even be a called a sport to be honest. I would like to see hunters hunt properly one on one no guns no dogs no horses ,can you see a deer hunter trying to take down a full grown stag with his bare hands (i know who would win and my moneys on the stag) if ppl want to hunt fine but do it on the animals terms then you can truly call yourself a hunter . As for Zoos tricky question most Zoos exploit animals for the public its how they get the money to fund breeding programs.What is best a bear in a zoo being exploited to fund its breeding program or the bears being extinct ? In some case i think its the lesser of the two evils and the pros far out way the cons Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In some case i think its the lesser of the two evils and the pros far out way the cons the zoo near my home town used to house elephants tigers polar bears these animals were kept in very small enclosures,this is the life the animals had been in for years with public awarness the and pressure the zoo decided that when these animals passed away thye would take no more large animals,a lot of money was put into breeding and preserving animals that may become extinct they now have lots of smaller animals with very large open spaces to roam around in and i enjoyed taking my daughter there with no feelings of guilt as we left Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
