There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Life in that cage must surely be sad.  Those animals are truly being exploited for money. 

I follow this place on facebook:
http://www.turpentinecreek.org/

They are continually improving conditions for the animals they house.  They rescue animals from situations similar to the video and even worse.

Their habitats are spacious and their attempts at enriching the lives of the animals they care for are noble.

Yet, Turpentine Creek and others like Big Cat Rescue make HUGE income. They are BIG attractions...and no one questions their motivation.

The difference between these places and that zoo is the incomes made are not at the expense of these captive wild animals.

Or are they?

Just food for thought...
