Last night Istarted a thread talking about the zoo I work at. Somebody had commented this to me.

You love working in a place where animals are taken out of their natural habitat, enslaved, chained and abused to submission so they can be used to entertain people's need for amusement?

All animals at this zoo are rescues. So you're wrong.

EDIT:The zoo I work at is a family owned zoo that only takes in rescues. Animals that were taken out of habitat by other people. You can't take a animal back into the wild that's been raised out of its natural habitat back to where it naturally belongs, because it hasn't learned its natural instincts by its parents. So these people are actually helping these animals. FAIL.

I wanted people to know that the owners of this zoo help these animals. They take in animals that people have neglected and treated poorly. They're good people. It takes a lot of money to take care of these animals and they still take in neglected animals out of the kindness of their heart. So if anybody was thinking that these people were mistreating these animals they were wrong.

Also if anybody who reads this lives in NC and wants to come by the name of the zoo is "Aloha Safari Zoo" if you're interested. They have safari rides, and also do neat things like let you feed the giraffes. My mom actually takes care of and works with the giraffe named "Stretch" on Sunday's, and let's you feed him.

Just wanted to clear this up.

It's always funny when people make comments about how taking animals captive is abuse.

I mean, at least it won't suffer a bloody death at the hands of a predator right?

And captive animals have all the food, water, and medication they need. Well, unless they are being abused.

I breed reptiles all the time, they are not slaves though.

Well I don't think it's wrong to take an animal that's been born captivity out of its natural habitat. Studies show that it depresses the animal. These animals are rescues though. They are animals that have already been bread in captivity and somebody mistreated them, so the owners at the zoo take them in, or they are animals that have been taken out of their habitat, and the owners couldn't handle them, or didn't have the time to take care of them, so we take them in and show them the proper care they deserve.

If an animal is born in the wild it's wrong to take them from an free range environment they're use to and cage them.

Reptiles on the other hand are a little different. Most reptiles don't need a lot of space to roam and are fine with a letter bit of space. Some on the other hand do need it, but if the reptile was bread in captivity that's okay. Reptiles adjust a lot better than most mammals.

Animals that were taken out of habitat by other people shouldn't be brought into your zoo, you should take them back to their habitat. You're also disregarding the fact that some animals regardless of being raised out of habitat can never be domesticated.
