I've always hated zoo's. They shouldn't keep animals locked up like that. I know a lot of them have been born into captivity but there are just as many that are caught wild and forced into it. I'm not sure if this Tiger was captive bred or wild. Sad stuff though, that would suck to just be walking in a Zoo and suddenly have your face ripped off. :(

Yep, that sucks.  Zoos sort of seem unreasonable to me sometimes too.

Your link looks like it's a 404, by the way.

Fixed, sorry about that.

I don't like the idea of zoos, either.  :\

Zoos are sad :(.  A HUGE animal trapped in an area about the size of a house?  Sad.

About wild vs. born-in-captivity, those animals may be dependent on humans for food but they can see humans as a source of food in more than one way.  Killing is still in them

I have mixed feelings on zoos. Zoos do a ton of good for animals, helping to save wounded ones or repopulate a dying species. Plus, they do a lot of research on animals and bring a lot of information to the world.

However, keeping animals in cages for the amusement of people is totally wrong.

Agreed. I don't like the circus either.
