Do you know how many wild animals are born and "thrive?"

Americans have a pretty limited view, mostly it seems provided by Disney, on real animal life "in the wild."

btw, I don't have an issue with hunting if hunters use the meat appropriately. I DO have an issue with the raging hypocrisy around this zoo-

Please, don't bother to read the article...it might show you how off you are in your rant... joeybee12 Mar 2014 #4

I read it before I ever saw it on DU JanMichael Mar 2014 #5

Not being hunted and having food isn't the same as "good" NoOneMan Mar 2014 #10

We have been vegetarians for almost a decade JanMichael Mar 2014 #27

We have an anti-cruelty movement here for farm animals and no, no one here eats animals "live" whathehell Mar 2014 #19

Holy cow. pintobean Mar 2014 #7

Be appalled at this: Marius, the healthy giraffe they killed and dissected in front of visitors, whathehell Mar 2014 #13

Less than two generations ago your family may have been lopping heads off chickens, honey, whathehell Mar 2014 #23

I'm sure the meat they normally use to feed the lions is donated by the animals. N/T Chathamization Mar 2014 #34

Really NOT the point... whathehell Mar 2014 #37

A healthy animal was going to be killed to feed those lions either way. Healthy animals currently Chathamization Mar 2014 #40

Surely you jest. Those lions must have either been vegetarians JanMichael Mar 2014 #42

You really are clueless as to the fact of the international outcry, aren't you? whathehell Mar 2014 #55

27 thousand around the world? JanMichael Mar 2014 #57

Um, the twenty seven thousand were given VERY short notice.. whathehell Mar 2014 #64

A healthy YOUNG animal?... whathehell Mar 2014 #50

and what about the healthy young cows JanMichael Mar 2014 #58

They're not "dying to feed" me, because I don't eat them..Duh. whathehell Mar 2014 #63

I am appalled at the people who think eating food while it's alive is more humane. jeff47 Mar 2014 #18

Well, now that's true JanMichael Mar 2014 #20

Again, the fact that you don't relate to the creature doesn't mean it never feels pain. (nt) jeff47 Mar 2014 #22

We DO relate! JanMichael Mar 2014 #29

I'm a meat eater and a hunter, and I'm not bitching about the giraffe Jgarrick Mar 2014 #30

Nope! :) And as someone pointed out upthread, the other animals that are killed JanMichael Mar 2014 #43

I hate how "food" animals are treated also. Liberal_in_LA Mar 2014 #36

I'm not a meat eater nor a hunter. I am a devoted animal rights activist. MoonRiver Mar 2014 #41

Thank you. And as pointed out by another poster- JanMichael Mar 2014 #45

WTF is wrong with that zoo?...Killing and dissecting a healthy animal publicly, in front of children whathehell Mar 2014 #8

"supposed?" JanMichael Mar 2014 #14

Yeah, "supposed" and don't lecture me on PETA, dear, I'm a member whathehell Mar 2014 #25

"Dear?" OK< now I have been called JanMichael Mar 2014 #31

LOL! whathehell Mar 2014 #35

Bastards.. yuiyoshida Mar 2014 #16

This is normal zoo behavior. So is selling the animals for canned hunts and the hide trade. LeftyMom Mar 2014 #17

It's not "normal" to kill a healthy 18 month old giraffe and then dissect it publicly whathehell Mar 2014 #26

No, normally they kill most of the large male animals and hide that fact. LeftyMom Mar 2014 #33

At 18 months? whathehell Mar 2014 #38

The Erwin Schrodinger Feline Exhibit is particularly egregious. Warren DeMontague Mar 2014 #24

WTF? MFM008 Mar 2014 #28

If you want to know why you're perfectly fine post is generating so much defensiveness here, whathehell Mar 2014 #32

it's mostly from me. I have written NOTHING JanMichael Mar 2014 #39

You don't have to, genius, the zoo in question is obviously in Europe.. whathehell Mar 2014 #49

Oh noes! JanMichael Mar 2014 #59

Ever consider a PR job with the Copenhagen Zoo?... I'm guessing they could use that help right now whathehell Mar 2014 #62

Yeah...the children..Maybe when you're old enough to have your own you'll understand whathehell Mar 2014 #65

someone just posted the following comment after the article Liberal_in_LA Mar 2014 #44

"CatherinexxxxxUSA" must think "Wild Kingdom" is a current show. JanMichael Mar 2014 #46

Comparing a zoo to Auschwitz is the most idiotic thing I've seen on the internet in a long time. Jgarrick Mar 2014 #47

To be truthful the lions are better off dead and in some freaking zoo malaise Mar 2014 #48

That's your opinion.. whathehell Mar 2014 #51
