I wholeheartedly agree with this. Why are we destroying them and their homelands only to create an unnatural space for them?

So many good comments, I need a double kudos button.

Dead, due to human stupidity. It's not fuck the zoo, it's fuck the parents. The zoo couldn't stand by while that boy is mauled. Yes, I followed the story on our local news. And it's the second incident on these lines. Few days ago, a naked suicidal maniac tried to get mauled by lions by presenting himself as their next meal. Result, two dead lions, since they were shot too.

Maybe I'm too much of a Darwinist, but that guy pisses me off even more. That boy simply got in harms way because of his parent's stupidity. The naked guy put himself there willingly.

Yea fuck those stupid parents who don't have 8 arms and 300 eyes. It's complete bullshit to expect people to be able to watch their children every fucking second without ever looking away. Why the hell is the gorilla jail open to toddlers? Why is there a gorilla jail? Why? We are so fucking special that we have a right to capture intelligent conscious animals and jail them so that we can look at them and take pictures of them in their cell. It's stupid. Same with the lion guy, you're placing the blame on someone who is mentally insane instead of on someone who put lions in a cage and then didn't bother to lock the damn gate.

The twilight zone got it right, but we didn't learn.

One episode, cannot remember the title, there was a human who was placed in a zoo on an alien planet.

It speaks volumes of what we do here, VOLUMES.

You don't need an alien planet for that.

The human zoo, aka, the circus.

Ota was in a real animal display at the Bronx Zoo.

Ouch, really?

That's sad.

Nobody complained about suffering before life evolved on earth.
No law of the jungle, no Bambi's been eaten by cheetahs, no human moral injustices.

Maybe that is the best way? Yeah, bring back the good old days. Are the nukes ready?
Mother nature is blind. Her creations are not necessarily a good thing.
