Abomination

All zoos are an abomination and should be closed permanently. We capture animals, imprison them in unnatural settings, and then pretend to our children that this is good and the animals must like it since they're safe and well fed. How would you like to live that way? Would you put your pet in a zoo? Would you put your child in a zoo? Why animals?

HORRIBLE! Needs to be demolished! Animals go elsewhere...

It was dangerous, there were swarms of bee's everywhere there was a trash can. I felt terrible... more
