While humans have gotten better with the treatment of animals both wild and domestic, it boggles the mind how some are still so cruel.

Player Say what!?, it is nice to see animals we would never see if not for zoos. ALL animals should live free in there habitats. Trophy killings need to be stopped immeaditly y and a harsh monetary set at the minimum of 250,000 to start with.

Not much has changed. There are still wild animals kept in captivity to this day. I understand that some shouldn't be released because they are blind, or disabled in some way, and would not survive in the wild, but they should be treated with the utmost respect and dignity because if it. We owe them that much!

I live in London, Ontario, St. Thomas is where he died, 20 minutes from here. There is a memorial on the hill where it happened. A local legend, but very, very sad.

loco, I agree. His whole life was one that should shame humans. It breaks my heart he had to survive so long in such horror, for greed and entertainment. And sadly we still have circus acts.
