i'd rather donate to a real conservation group, than to a zoo which is just using the money to fund an animal jail.

Have you seen the CNN documentary "Black Fish"?

All of the issues raised in that movie are just as applicable to large land animals as it is to the large sea creatures they documented.

They should not be in captivity, period.

Unbelievabe

This topic in this thread is sick... To murder a perfectly healthy animal for no real reason but the more posts I read the sicker it gets.

Now I'm reading it was put down in front of the public incl children ???

And then it was cut up for food and people were videoing it as well...!!

Words fail me.........

and the zoos that wanted him refused to sign a contract saying they wouldn't sell it to a circus apparently

i expect better from that country. pure animals they are no better than the wild animals they capture and keep captive.
that sort of thing goes on alot except its behind the doors. they should be stooped from running a zoo. and if i had myway beheaded and fed to the lions.
