Zoos, do we really need them?

I disagree with breeding programs, no animal including humans should have that choice made by others.

As already mentioned, there is a lot of pain in zoos and pet shops are worse, I can't go into those at all, you walk in there and it's overpowering.

I do agree with you to some extent. Many animals are bred to produce the 'cute' babies that draw people through the gates.

However, humanity has left such a huge footprint on so many habitats, I support a captive breeding program that rereleases animals back into the wild to help sustain or reintroduce their population.

I have no doubt animals suffer in zoo's or even worse circuses. It makes my heart warm to see humanity finally awakening to our fellow brethren on earth and their plight. I hope in my lifetime we can try and find some balance in most parts of the world. That is what I work hard for every day!!

Glad to see I'm not the only one feeliing this way.

I don't know how a loving person or a person of the light can support zoos. We all know how humans feel when they are taken away from their families and forcefully confined? What if some of the animals are claustrophobic? I’m prone to think the studying and observing of animals in their natural inhabitant will be much more beneficial to everyone/creature. The only time I would intervene with the extinction of species is when I/we had something to do with it. Zoos should be done away with. If you really need to see lions, tigers, and bears (oh my)…We have Blu ray technology now, and 3D tv’s are on the way. Need to be up close and personal….than lets show them some real respect and visit them in the wild.

Peace
