Tiger King zoo permanently closes

And that is why every "zoo" needs to close. Keeping a roaming animal like a Lion in that tiny cage is torture, not 'research' or 'preservation'.

Good. Though it’s exceptionally sad that there are more tigers in captivity than in the wild.

I just can’t understand how individuals are allowed to own large predators in these grotesque private ‘zoos’. It should just be illegal. Every one of those owners in Tiger King was a loonie. Unfortunately, real zoos may soon be the only safe place for most large cats, given the way their natural habitat is being destroyed. We are a plague on the planet.

If real zoos are the answer, it must have been a really cruel question.

If we are a plague on the planet, stop being the plague.

I think these twats should be strung up and forced to do pet and peep shows like the animals they forced.

I also just learned the other day that de-clawing big cats is a violation US federal law.
Human crap like these types of assholes aren't interested in preserving the species. Nope, these assholes were purely interested in profiting solely from the suffering of those poor cats.

Fuck 'em all to death.
