    Many zoos have an excellent record of caring for gorillas. But do they ever belong there?http://nyti.ms/1t2rTKv

        their wild/protected habitat, their home, is where they belong. zoos are cruel and a result of unhealthy anthropocentrism. shame!

        in my opinion, not a single animal/bird belongs to Zoo. Its like amusing the sigh of prisoners in jail.

        it's funny because zoo animals essentially live in a completely welfare environment, something a lot of voters want themselves.

        Thus, those people belong in restricted and controled invironments, then. Interesting thought...

        an interesting and unheard of idea would be to teach them to take personal responsibility to succeed in the wild.

        People have to work at McDonalds. Who would get your Big Mac, Then? Receiving a decent wage for it would be great, too.

        All I'm saying is that I don't see why everyone has to follow the damn directions and try to become rich. It's absurd.

        For the most part, they're safer in zoos than in places where they are killed w/their hands and feet being made into ashtrays.

        it's obvious the answer's no any animal that needs a wide area to forage for food can't be happy in a zoo
