Using their strengths and never use teeth. Should never be in cages. But then again I think the same rules should apply to rabbits and budgies. Yep,no animal should be caged 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same when I saw the polar bear at Chester Zoo banging it's head against the rock... I can't stand those places. Yet we're the monsters for daring to suggest hunting and conservation go together but most of the public will pay money to gawk at captive fauna going insane. \ It's never sat right with me. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spot on, OK in the past things were different, and suoppse people didn't no any better, but we know today animals and some species are near extinct. With the social media etc, we can see them in there natural environment, no need for feckin zoo's /circus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I loved Chester Zoo as a kid but as I got older it just felt weird and then ultimately wrong. The polar bear was the final straw for me. I read the news now about rhinos being poached and rangers killed while C19 locks down some of the African sporting locations. As much as I'd like to get out on one I'd quite happily shoot anything with a camera! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Was that in the 80's mate? If it was, I saw the same bear knocking it's head off shit at Chester. This happened 2 days ago, just an hour up the coast from me and happens to be the beach that I spend most of my time on during summer and the section that I fuucking chill on (this beach is less than 2km long) https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8335319/amp/Terrifying-moment-Paralympic-swimmer-manages-race-away-two-SHARKS-Spanish-coast.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
