Quote:A zoo really isn't better, except maybe for those attempting to duplicate a free range environment.

 

Do you know the difference between domesticated and wild animals?

 

Just my opinion, but you appear to be clueless when lumping all animal rights activists together. You cannot possibly know what each individual does in their personal life.

 

So do zoos need to go away?  Is putting a mammal in an environment that attempts to duplicate it's natural environment wrong?

 

Were domesticated animals always domesticated, or were they once wild?

 

Perhaps I should have said "most" animal rights "activists" in my previous comment.  Does that make you feel better?

 

The thing is, why is it acceptable to hold one animal in captivity (a domestic pet) and not another?  Why is it acceptable to make an animal do tricks for treats (such as a dog) but it's not acceptable to do the same with another animal?
