There is this rumour

going around that Costa Rica is planning to close it's zoos.

In addition to this rumor, it has been made known that India has already declared dolphins to be "non-human persons", thereby making it illegal to keep them captive and force them to perform.

I approve of these forward movements. We have been disrespecting the quality of animal life for far too long, because we can.

Let's get rid of the zoos. And the captivity.

If you want to see a lion, REALLY want to see a lion, go to their natural habitat. Respect them in their world. They are amazing--I'm not debating that. But they are more amazing in the open than they are kept all penned up in a zoo with the incorrect climate for their bodies.

Dolphins swimming in the world, playing games with swimmers and boaters alike, are more staggering and impressive than any dolphin "show" I've ever experienced.

Do not we as humans thrive when we are happy and comfortable? Why don't we wish that for all living things?



I think we need to ask ourselves: why don't we care about the well-being of other living things when equality amongst humans is so prevalent?

Equality is important--don't misunderstand.
I just request equality for all.


Please fight to respect life and love.
