RE: The Camel story - I prefer poachers to you!
I am of two minds when it comes to animals, and zoos, or wild safari parks as some private zoo's have taken to calling themselves. Like many things, I sometimes see them as a necessary to protect or try to preserve some animals.
True. The problem is, as is apparent in my country, some of the animals, especially the friendly, ones, are found beyond just the 'reserves'. Camel's for instance, and i say Camels, becasue this one i witness daily, are paraded for paid test riding.
This is common in the streets of Kampala (my capital city) In deed, owners make a living out of that.
That is a shame, and when the animal is being an animal and acting within it's nature, if it hurts a human, then the animal is put down, not the stupid human. That happens a lot over here especially with horses. It is always the horses fault and not the humans fault when a human is hurt.
I couldn't agree more. It is unfortunate we can do only so much.
