Zoos, Circuses, Safaris: A Gallery of Captivity

[Spalea]

@Betty :

We like to see the "struggle for life" characteristic of the natural order (predators hunting some preys, predators or other animals fighting each other) but we're sick to see the human barbarity (slaughter, hunting, canned hunting and so on). Paradox ? I don't think so. We can be amazed in front of the beauties of a wild world which disappears and frankly digusted by the actions of a living being aberration which, for a long time, proclaims to have been created just like God.

The chinese people discovered the consumer society after the european people. Their zoos and parks are as squalid as the european zoos of the XIXth century. Perhaps at the end of this century, they would discover and promote the ecological welfare but it will be benefical only for them, the wild big predators having disappeared. In the meantime they seem cruel and inhuman in the worst cases, just curious and cold in front of a different life from their own in the best cases.

I know that we don't live in a perfect world as you say. Since two years now, I'm member of the "Four Paws" association against the canned hunting. I'm even sponsoring a lion in South Africa. I know what happens in our lovely planet ruled over by the human order. I only choose not to watch such video you post. They would make me nauseous. Just like seeing full of people in cars, full of people in supermarkets, news of war and politics, in short all our disgusting hypocrisie in process and progress. Reply
