My cousin went to a zoo that had chickens and goats just walking around everywhere. She saw the lion eat the zebra that had died recently too. It could be worse I suppose. When you find a piece of shit along side the road and you poke it with a stick, what do you expect to find inside of it, gold? No, it's just going to stink more. |

The owner of the Marah Land zoo in Gaza City said he had used masking tape and black hair dye, applied with a paint-brush, to disguise the white females. Mohammed Bargouthi said it would have cost him more than £25,000 to bring in a real zebra via smuggling tunnels. "The first time we used paint but it didn't look good," said Mr Bargouthi. "The children don't know, so they call them zebras and they are happy to see something new." All the real animals at the zoo, including monkeys and a tigress, had been smuggled under the border at great expense, he said. Two genuine zebras died of starvation earlier this year during the Israeli military offensive, he added. The animal restrictions are part of the Israeli blockade of Gaza, imposed in an attempt to reduce rocket attacks and weaken the leadership of Hamas. The Mexicans have been doing that for decades , I use to go to Tiaquanna from San Diego and they were all over, including shows not to be mentioned . Last Edited by Azadok61 on 07/14/2014 10:32 AM |

Last year, my daughter and I each rented a horse to go on a two-hour, guided trail ride because we thought it might be fun. The whole time, I felt guilty for making an innocent horse carry my butt around. So, what I had expected to be an enjoyable outing had a different outcome in waking me up spiritually about abusing animals. Maybe the horses didn't mind, who knows? I only know that I felt guilty for making them work. Sometimes I imagine the horses talking amongst themselves about what new stupid Humans they'll have to cart around that day. |
