" Worse, many species would not be around right now were it not for zoos, and

breeding programs, and so on. The Giant Panda is a case in point -- the

hand-ful in the wild, were zoos not educating people about them, would long

since have been killed off by the land-greedy. "

 

Great point, I didn't even think of that aspect. Very important. They

certainly have saved some beautiful creatures.

This either means I am not a person because I do learn, or I'm just breaking

all the rules, lol. Either way, I understand your generalization.

provoking. IMHO. Although not a waste of time for me, I again understand

what you are expressing.

I suggest the residence white pages. Any chance of someone telling me how

to get all the " girls " to see me, instead of the " guys " ? Nah, I think I

better figure that one on my own, not that i'm looking, lol. :)>

Depends on the zoo, they vary widely. Usually newer are better.

In many cases the natural environments are disappearing fast so the Bush

Lacto ovo vegetarian, as if it's anyone's business. Nor does it relate to

my view of zoos.
