If they had those sort of organisational abilities, one wonders how they became endangered in the first place.<BR/><BR/>If she's going by the school of thought that believes nobody is a slave to their circumstances and applying it to non-human species, then wonderful! We can all rest easy that when there is a severe injustice (or wiping out of species), we can all sit back and say 'Yeah, but they shouldn't have been there in the first place'<BR/><BR/>I'd like to think that we and the animals are one to a certain extent, but it's hard to justify it, given that we cause the deaths of so many species every year.<BR/><BR/>I do agree that keeping animals in enclosures like you described sucks rather majorly. If people absolutely must keep animals in enclosures, said people really should take a little term called 'enrichment' into account.<BR/><BR/>As for the Yoga with Elephants thing...who knows, it was probably midly amused at the goings on.Electric Chikkenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373149491809372307noreply@blogger.com
