1000 Flowers for the Planet - #638 View Animals in the Wild
If you travel
to places where you think the zoo might be a good attraction, think twice.
Whilst there are some zoos around the world that are run very well and where
the animals are cared for in the best conditions possible, there are many where
the animals are still kept in concrete cages that provide little that truly
attends to the welfare of the creatures contained. Animals don’t deserve to be
caged simply for our viewing pleasure. Animals are best viewed in the wild,
where they belong, where they can behave as nature intends them to behave. If
humans think it is their right to do as they please on this planet, then it is
our duty to care for all the other species with dignity and care. The actions
of the many depend on leadership from each individual who has the capacity to
do things differently – to do things better. Lead by example and when you take
your children to see the animals of the wild, make sure they see them IN the wild, not in cages.
