There's a place in Spain called Noah's Ark it's high up in the hills known as Guadalest. English translation: eagle's nest.
Just read the reviews on Trip Advisor- it seemed an amazing place. They've opened a new one. http://www.theleader.info/article/23043

Just read the reviews on Trip Advisor- it seemed an amazing place. I was told that the woman who lost her arm had been on a coach that had stopped at a bodega en-route, which was how we got there. The liqueurs flow freely for the traveller, so perhaps the unfortunate lady had drunk too many. The truth about it I don't really know. But it was a great place to visit. He had a large boa constrictor hanging over our heads from a tree. Contrary to what I always thought, they don't feel slimy to the touch.

ALL animals were wild at one time.
We domesticated dogs and cats and now even more exotic species such as racoons, meerkats, coatis, civets and much more are being bred for the general worldwide pet trade.
Hypocritical ??? Yes, I know I certainly am.
I'm happy to go to see animals caged in a zoo so why do I disagree so strongly about seeing them in a circus? Maybe it's because they a forced to perform as entertainment but either way, caged is caged and they should all be running wild in an ideal world. It'll never happen though.
I have pets myself - hypocritical? Yup, I think it is.
We object to things we don't agree with but exclude certain parts to suit ourselves.
Human nature unfortunately - we are our own and everything else's worst enemy
Similar to my points very true but is the human race really gona be happy when , whats left of them ,the animal world is only viewable through A CAGE ! what a sad sad world itll be. theres a global world herd of 60 billion animals for our food.....in 20 years that HAS to grow due to our growth up to 100 billion seeing as most global damage is down to the farming of them not ships, cars, material production etc think this is SUSTAINABLE !?? no chance..... I honestly think this world in time will be like the movie "soylent green" Theres a really sad bit, of many, in 'earthlings' showing a fed up elephant after years of abuse being caged up escaping into the streets of india.... they hunt it down and shoot it loads of times till it ebbs out of life in the street....what a terrible end to an amazing powerful beautiful animal who deserves a natural life.

Maybe it's because they a forced to perform as entertainment but either way, caged is caged and they should all be running wild in an ideal world. It'll never happen though. Zoos have come on a long way in recent times. Chester is a brilliant zoo for its conservation work and making the zoo environment as close to real life as possible. The circus is a different kettle of fish altogether. Tiny cages, transported around the country (or further) and made to perform silly tricks.

. Torturing Babies. Thank heavens there are no longer elephants in our circus here. This is Florida, but no doubt the same training has been used over the years, all over the world for all of the animals. We don't generally treat our 'pets' this way...do we? Oh yes, and they're all 'white man' ! ![[Linked Image]](http://www.peta2.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/This-Is-Your-Circus.jpg) Google search 'circus animals', it may break your heart.
