Has the sight of a tiger ever moved you to tears? Or the sight of a peacock? Well it happened to me today. A visit to one of the biggest zoos in the country turned out to be a sad visit, atleast for me. Dirty cages, malnourished animals, unruly public.. It looked so sad. The idea of a zoo by itself is cruel. And to think that the animals are not well fed there is very very sad. Its a shame actually. The magnificient tigers and lions were lying down like unused sacks. Monkeys were begging the passers-by for food. Little kids were hitting deers, birds and rhinos through the bars. Where the f*** are the zoo authorities? Is this the way to treat animals? With such a vast area and innumerable funds available, I wonder why this is happening?

I dont think I can ever forget what I saw there... A zoo keeper was taking like Rs.10 from visitors and he would poke either the Lion, Tiger or Cheetah which were behind the cage with a stick and make them roar. People used to get excited seeing the animal roar. We have such a sick attitude towards animals... Felt like letting the animal out of the cage and take their revenge...
by the way; bad post!
last time i went was ages back when someone took me. when i have a choice - i avoid the place.
and welcome back. which zoo, btw?
those monkeys may not be begging for food ... ppl are asked not to feed as the animals food likings are likely to change and lead to attacking humans ;)
I think animals would have a problem being caged more than being in a filthy place ... the wild can be much worse ... seen the movie "Madagascar"?
I wonder if a day will come when humans are caged in zoo's :-?
