how sad to see bars around these beautiful creatures

I agree with you Selkie but surely bars and safety are preferable to being killed in the wild for their skin.

It is a tough one.........but seeing some animals in captivity raises the question of is it better to be dead then only half living or for many existing, why help them if we have no where to put them back and go back they must, no animal was made or created for us to house behind bars for humans to gawk at for our own amusement, many zoo's are seen to be helping but they hide the fact they cull vast numbers of their animals and have no intention of using any of the money they make on conserving and making good the damage done over the years to the animals natural habitat, many zoo's are money making circuses that hind behind the word conservation
