GORILLAS (AND ALL ANIMALS) UNDER SEVERE STRESS.
Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 2010-04-09 21:51.Why do zoos cater to the public rather than to the well-being of their
animals... this is absolutely WRONG. The animals must come first, after all
they are the ones in prison, to be laughed at, make jokes of, snicker,
make rude gestures and very poor behaviour, not to mention the 364
days in the year to be gawked at. When I go to a zoo, I sit or stand very
quiet and sketch or write, this way I don't put stress on any animal, rather
draw their curiosity. CAN'T ANY ONE OF YOUR ZOO STAFF THINK WITH
COMMON SENSE, COMPASSION, REASONING, WISDOM,MORALS, AND
ESPECIALLY EMPATHY. ZOO SHOULD TURN THEMSELVES INTO SANCTU-
ARIES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, WITH PLENTY OF PRIVACY AND NATURAL
SURROUNDINGS (NO SIMULATED ROCKS OR TREES) AND FOR HEAVEN
SAKE ORDER THE PUBLIC TO BEHAVE PROPERLY, LIKE THE ANIMALS DO.
