I hate zoos.

Go ahead, all the self righteous now can flame me away about how impt they are.

I hate zoos. I hate the circus too.

I thought hippies were full of peace, love and all that good $hit.

“I hate zoos. I hate the circus too.”

I’m with you. I’d rather see money put into REAL preservation of species in their NATURAL habitat. BUT, if an animal is on it’s way to extinction anyway, and is displacing people, I don’t mind it being in a zoo, versus government stealing LAND from property owners to protect a flea or a fly or a mouse.

It’s a fine line on some of these things...

I see that you’re still recovering. Try pulling your head down between your legs and taking some deep breaths. Should improve your shitty outlook on life.

If you hate snakes, and you hate zoos, do you like snakes in zoos?

:)

Hate zoos,
hate circuses,
hate museums,
hate the opera,
hate rodeo,
hate movies,
hate whatever you want.

It doesn't matter whether they are important or not, or whether or not you consider them to be of value or a detriment. That is the beauty of a free society. Zoos, wildlife parks, museums, and other institutions are available for those who want to visit them, and in the free marketplace those who want to frequent and support them can and those who don't are free to stay away. I hate tattoo parlors and cigar bars, but others think they are great. Now maybe a cigar-smoking tattoo enthusiast will flame me for hating his or her favorite haunt, or maybe not. Who cares! It's still a (mostly) free country.

Me, too. I do not like zoos; nor do I like the circus. The animals in them are not happy; sometimes developing crazy reptitive behaviors to deal with the frustrations associated with being held in such small confines. The elephants in circuses have it hard, too. They’d be happier in their original habitats. . . and clowns, don’t get me started. I’m glad they have jobs, but are just weird. And I say that willingly of my own accord and I’m a clown myself; Twinkie the Clown.

I hate oatmeal. It’s fine in cookies, but put it in a bowl with after soaking it in boiling water - yuck. I don’t care how much sweet stuff you put in it. It’s still yuck. You’d be surprised how many people want to argue with me about my hate for oatmeal.

So,I support you in our hate for zoos. Circus’s - had to think about that one. They do have clowns. A lot of people hate clowns, so, OK.

By the way, I’m not a recovering ex-hippie, but people think my husband and I look like hippies. I’m the music director at a cowboy church. I look nothing like a cowgirl (cow-person?). BUT I sing like one, so no one cares that I look like a hippie.

>> I hate zoos. I hate the circus too.

My guess is, you’re not a big fan of Congress, then.
