Gorilla shot after 4yr old falls in enclosure VOL.....RIP HARAMBE

I dont have kids, so maybe it'll be hard for me to understand that logic. But is the child old enough to understand reason, or the concept of good or bad? If not, couldn't they just not take them?

Its rare that I see parents speak to their kids with reason and logic. I usually just see frustration and the eventual iPad getting thrown in the kids lap lol.

this is where we're going now? Zoo's are da only way many millions of people get to appreciate nature firsthand.

da real problem is all these anthropomorphic cartoon talking animals got people thinking these beings are somehow above empathy of that our own Human kind.

Majority is brought up on a weekly dose of disney movies that anthropomorphize every animal ever created. Jungle book just came out recently and it looks real as hell. Kids eat that **** up and fiend to go to the zoo because of it. On top of that, there is a disconnect where adults don't believe they're animals in the least bit. They could never picture themselves having to live in a zoo. It's all entertainment to all parties. They could care less that some of these animals need anti depressants.

Stop. Ain't nobody saying these animals are benevolent.

But the fact that you just compared living in a cage/enclosure to nature is absurd.

Experiencing a zoo is not experiencing nature.

I do and I don't care to be honest.

It's funny where ya'll choose to be disgusted.

Asians sweatshops, so you won't buy clothes.

Blood diamonds so I guess your wives ring will be plastic.

Oil funding terrorism so you don't use heat or drive a car.

Yes we realize a lot of these animals would be better off in nature. That's not entertaining.

Quick to use events like this as your soapbox but I ain't buyin it

I bet ya'll swore off meat when that whole farming cruelty outraged popped off didn't you?

And how many nature docs have been made? Explaining the animals in better fashion then any zoo ever could. We don't have to put every animal through misery to appreciate them.
I enjoy watching these animals in their own habitat, behaving the way nature intended. Much more exciting but I guess I'm in the minority on NT.

So you would rather watch your own child get ripped apart?

1) My child would never be in a gorilla pit in the first place

2) A human cannot fight a gorilla straight up. No sense in two lives being lost

So you never answered my question though.

You would rather watch you kid die in front of you. :lol: Beta mindset

compared to Zoo's thats a 5 min trip away from mass transit or a car ride?

free admission days in da Bronx Zoo for a school field trip >*

let's not act like that Cincinnati tragedy wasn't anything more than a fluke accident...

Zoo's serve a great purpose for da general public and are more accessible that conservatories.

What do ya'll do for a living?

Asking because you seem to know a lot about how everyone raises their kids?

Acting like zoos and movies are a new thing.

Ya'll take a few bad examples and claim that kids don't know the difference between real animals and cartoons.

"Da disconnect"

I dont think I made any general statement in what I said. I said something relating to my own experience. But since you want to go that route; https://www.theguardian.com/technol...esearch-smartphones-damage-social-development

You telling me you dont know parents who do that? Also, if a parent isn't around to teach a kid what is real and what isn't on television, the child will not know the difference.

From reading this and your last post, is your main gripe more so about the hypocrisy in what people choose to morally concerned about?

i aint either, just goes to show u how convenient city zoos are for da general public.

central park got a lil zoo too.

so does Brooklyn, in Propect Park.
 
Went to the zoo twice in my life.
First time was amazing i wuz little.

Fed the giraffe....saw a lion up close....etc.

2nd time i went i was older and that place is mad depressing.

i remember i went to see the meerkats.



It was raining and all the meerkats were under the roof except this one sittin out in the rain like fml

View media item 2049995
ol boy looked right at me like he was thinking "yall let me down so much"

A tiger or lion is sposed to hunt and kill ....not be fed

birds are sposed to fly up into the sky....not as high as the cage permits.

harambe aint deserve this.

More so.

I think people like to get on their soapboxes after a tragedy to tell people how right they are and how wrong we are like we don't see what you see.
