Jim Dandy: my thoughts are....I hate zoos!!! Animals like that should be in the wild where they belong, not locked up in some cage to be goggled at. Im all for rescue centres which rehabilitate such animals who are injured or sick etc but I hate zoos.

Ewe: I see your point,and years ago zoos deserved the stigma they still have,but conditions have really improved in the past 25 years.Zoos might be the best friend wild animals have in many respects,they have programs that protect those in the wild amongst other things.They also serve to educate,they aren't the best scenario,but they've come a long way

Jim Dandy: Yes very true, but not all zoos are equal....lots of abuse still goes on unfortunately

Jim Dandy: I believe that most zoos are for the good of the animlas now a days....I don;t mean those little road side attractions tho,I mean real zoos..What happend was aweful.I heard on the news the walls for the enclosure were to low.That cat was doing what God intended it to do,stalk,hunt,kill it's prey.Ask Ewe or anyone that ownes a cat...I bet it stalks something everyday in the house....and goodness only knows what is going through the minds of animls that are closed in like that.

anastasia: Two cats own me,one's a constant stalker but not the other.
