I want to boycott zoos.

Daffodil · **I want to boycott zoos. -** 06-26-2006

Asalamulaikum

I want to boycott zoos because I feel so sorry for the animals which are also Allah swts creatures who are locked up in cages in an unatural environment where ppl stare at them.

I especialy feel sorry for monkeys/elephants etc because they literaly go mad.

I think its so unfair on these poor animals that have been taken out of their natural surroundings to be put in a cage so that ppl can stare at them. The poor animals shud be left in their own environment which is more natural for them, where the food they eat is near to hand n they are free from the barriers that are put before them.

Ive seen some disturbing things that monkeys have done due to them going crazy inside a cage.

We are going to be answerable for these poor animals on the day of judgement. We shud treat animals just the same as humans. Let them free!

I can see your point.

But on the other hand you have to remember that zoos maintain genepools, and that some species would be extinct if it wasn't for zoos.
The are also often involved in research, and try to reintroduce animals back into the wild.

So not everything zoos do and stand for is bad!

Peace.

I kinda agree with u Glo...

Animals are being fed,treated in zoos and I don't think there is any harm being done to them......

and not all the animals are caged some of them r put in wildlife habitats which are open lands.....and not so small.

Yeah, I think it depends on the situation.

im talkin about zoos not animal safaris n things where theyre in theyre natural habitat n in open surroundings.

Taqiyah · **Re: I want to boycott zoos. -** 06-26-2006

oooooooops! Ok my bad!!

strider · **Re: I want to boycott zoos. -** 06-26-2006

Even the zoos, many of the areas where the animals are kept are an immitation of what their natural habitat is like. Having said that, i do feel sorry for the way some of the lions are kept. They have nothing to do but pace up and down.

Sadly the word Zoo is too broad of a word. Some Zoo's are very fine facilities that treat and protect the wildlife for both the sake of the wildlife and to please and educate people.

Other things called Zoo's are mere Animal exhibits with no goal except to extract a profit from visitors who come out of morbid curiosity and not in search of knowledge or actual enjoyment of Allah's(swt) creatures. Those should be banned as they are a disgrace and a mistreatment of Allah's(swt) creations.

ass salaamu alaykum

I think that most animals are better off in zoo's we're they get looked after treated if they're sick given medicine and etc
..and not once have i heard of animals being abused in public zoo's (if you guys have then plz fill me in !).

i guess it is better for them to live in the wild but...............

ok...talkin' about the caging situation .. you know how the chickens come in cages....and then they're slaughtered and boxed away.....
are you gonna boycott that too and all the animals who come in this way!

just a suggestion...plz don't bite my head off guys

.....LOL!

wa alaykum ass salaam ppl

lol...nah.. only really stressed caged animals bite heads off

i really hate the idea of caged animals.cant bear to see som1 trapped.. have u ever seen the caged lions? i went to this zoo once and they had some lions in a cage... they looked ill and miserable....i couldnt help thinking thts poor trapped simba....they had no space to run..thts kinda cruel

thts like torture. compared to the wild animals many of the zoo animals look deprived. some animals u can keep in zoos and they can live happily eg monkeys. but bigger animals, such as lions, need space to run, and hunt.
safari parks are still abit better.

i agree tht zoos arnt all bad...but they shud just keep a limit to the kinds of animals they bring in...somtimes they go a little too far and display wild animals for human entertainment.animals tht dont really adjust to zoos

do u kno how KFC treats ther chickens....? i heard tht they cram loads of live chickens into a small space to the extent tht many chickens break their legs and beaks...and then they um, was it electrify them or something

cant remember properly but it was somthing horrible. so basically wen they sell ther 'finger lickin gud' chicken to th public its a stressed dead chicken

keeping horses is ok...and camels....som animals u can keep...but lions? bears? keeping them is cruel....and selfish....just like cruela devil

Nablus · **Re: I want to boycott zoos. -** 06-26-2006

sure

its unfair to strict thier movements in a cage

REPSTER · **Re: I want to boycott zoos. -** 06-26-2006

Thats true sis i feel the same way too.:brother:
Animals should not be treated badly,the only way to stop these cruelties

from happening is from bying organic.

Animals are a part of ths would they should be treated with care.

**Muezzin** · **Re: I want to boycott zoos. -** 06-26-2006

This is the only 'zoo' I'd boycott:

And not for the animals' sake, I might add.

Captivity is bad. However, there are some good points to zoos - for instance, children can learn much more about animals. I mean, I was a little city kid who'd never even seen a donkey in real life. Imagine my awe when I saw a tiger! Holy smokes!

On the other hand, popularity in zoos is declining, or so I've read.

Pk_#2 · **Re: I want to boycott zoos. -** 06-26-2006

HAR HAR^^

in a way i think we should, cause of the whole caging, and us being responsible for it in a way..

buh then again, i'm scared of tigers dun want them loose..

AsalamuAlaykum.
