    while talking to a staff member at Monarto today i was told "Gosh, you are so negetive on zoos."

    I made a comment about how long the hopping mice the the visitor centre would last, being in full veiw all day. also on the previous day the new black rhinos were paceing and aparently i said it in a wierd tone of voice.

    Maybe I and all of us are 'too' negative on zoos?

    Just a thought (not an arguement)

    p.s. i still love zoos! :D

    Views on Zoos

    Well , I cant speak for anyone else , but I am pro zoo , providing that the zoo seeks the best for the animals , and actively engages in conservation
    I have been to at least one zoo that needs to close , and a couple more that needs serious revamp , but on the whole I like zoos .
