  1. FOR THE RECORD – Wild animals are not for humans to look at in an artificial environment, like a circus or zoo. We ALL know that. They are designed to live in the wild in the climate of the country they are from.

    This website is for humanity, so we could say why is there any need to place a comment about animals. Well it is worth a mention, so that it goes out in the field and on the grid. That means it is no longer just a small news story circulating in our national newspapers where we read it, repeat it and mis-interpret but never question why, what, how it has happened.

    A female rhinoceros in a zoo in Europe gets a new male enter her space for one purpose – to mate, which is part of the zoo’s breeding program.
    As he made his initial move, she runs off and the chase continues for approximately 15 minutes. She slipped and landed in a shallow pool and was unable to get up because she was exhausted, according to the zoo. She drowned and died.

    For the record, a rhino weighs around 2,000 kg and that is all muscle and horn.

    Dear World

    What on earth are we doing when it comes to other species residing on the same plane of life as we are?

    Why are we interfering with their natural habitats, their cycles and rhythms and their evolution when most of us don’t even know much about them?

    We must not and cannot blame the zoo’s and those that profit from this type of business. They are simply there because we, the spectators want to see a rhino have a baby rhino, which was never designed by nature to happen in a zoo in Europe. These animals are from the wild in Africa or Asian countries, like Indonesia.

    Back to us, yes us the consumer, the customer with the insatiable appetite to want to be a spectator and visit un-natural enclosures where wild animals are housed and fed and made, call it forced to mate so the cycle of our demand can continue. Let us be frank here – we demand first and then the supplier shows up and delivers what we demand.

    If one day the general public made the choice to sense and see that there is zero purpose in having an animal from the wild spend its entire life in closed and confined spaces, just for our visual entertainment and distraction, things would be very different. These zoo’s would no longer have campaigners and all their staff and businesses would have to find other work as the industry would just die. Until such time we can expect to see or hear of more types of tragic and un-necessary stories, such as this one.

    Could it be possible that this death, which most certainly could have been avoided, is a communication telling us and giving us a message if we care to listen or at least be open to the fact, that this may not be the truth? In other words, the way we are going about keeping animals in zoos may be retarding their evolution as a species on earth?

    Possible?
