That word again: CAPTIVITY. We just don't learn do we...!!

Animals should be left in their natural environment, not kidnapped, taken many miles away from their home and families, imprisoned, humiliated and exhibited.

If only people would stop going to these places, the problem would stop!

Sadly noted Cher.

I agree with Marisa, animals shoul not be a Tourist Attraction!!
It's just rediculous, hauling animals from all over the world and then not being able to take good care of them. Leave the animals alone, leave them where they belong!!
