Chris and Abraxas.....
From whale sushi to human sushi... both high on the food chain...

Zoo's and Circuses are not the best places either.

If someone took me out of the ocean and made me jump through their hoops, I try to kill them too, if I were a killer whale that is.

We generally don't hear about the large percentage of ocean mammals that simply run their heads into the sides of their tanks until they die, as opposed to living life in a fish bowl.

How can you take an animal that is used to migrating thousands of miles, put it in something 50 yards long and tell yourself it's cool? The definition of a sociopath is someone who is unwilling or incapable of feeling someone else's pain. I'm not a vegetarian or an animal rights activist but man's attitude towards animals is often sociopathic in nature. As a kid, I remember being taken to the zoo and thinking to myself" Who's shittin" who here? This is a prison."

One particular ape at the Norfolk Zoo made his feelings abundantly clear.  He did nothing all day but throw shit at every man, woman, or child that crossed the glass wall of his enclosure.  Good times.

Ironically, Zoos and Aquariums also generate a great deal of money for conservation.
