I agree for the most part of this post... animals get tagged and are set free in the wild, if slaughtered or fail, they get brought back. The municipal zoo's do everything in their part to let them back out, sometimes, it's just unfortunate. These folks dedicate their lives for these animals to rodents to bugs, it must be tough. It's a passion and love, takes a certain type of courageous lifestyle, and I adore that.
There's a lot of BS zoo's man, one by my community finally was shut down in Bowmanville, google the atrocities. I have a pic with my niece and her (the lion's) baby. You can hear the stress from her mother behind us... the closest you could ever get to animals, but soon found out they were all mis-treated. Google it, the videos explain the place being shut-down. There's many more, all over the world. This is likely what Boxy's upset with.
Edit: Oh s***, they re-opened under new ownership. The previous owner claimed mental health why he beat his tigers?
Yes, established Zoo's and their keepers treat them like gold, for their unfortunate, situations. I always support the local Zoo in Toronto, and I'm broke.
I'm talking of animals that can't go back to the wild, get educated. I'm not talking about pirate independent zoo's, man. I love animals, you know this. Don't start.
