having a low opinion of animals is not a prerequisite to eating meat

it is however a prerequisite to being a low human

the animals look very sad in zoos,some of them dont move at all,they just stare outside somewhere,zoos are so depressing,i didnt see that when i was a kid,i went to a zoo as a grown up and it upset me alot,i felt very sorry for the animals,i didnt see one animal that was happy,there was this elephant that looked sick,the lions were so sad,i could see it in their faces,The chimpanzees were acting crazy,there was an eagle who was staying still staring still,no movement from the eagle,i observed him for more than a couple minutes,that eagle is supposed to fly,in conclusion,it is bad to prison animals to make money or entertainment for people

Animals should be in wild...protected...if u want to watch...go to that country... bolster their economy

we never put ourself in shoe
how come we know how the animals are going...
leave animal aside
humans are not leaving humans only
killing each other and torturing

I still remember a zoo I visited some ten years ago. Here was the macaques cage. I approached it and started observing them. One small macaque headed towards me, exactly on the other side of the glass wall, and proceeded to ostensibly show me his butt.

Since then, I think language is more universal than we usually assume.
