Dear Animal lover

Those stories make us sad and angry:
TOSCA, mother of the famous Polar Bear "Knut" (Berlin Zoo, Germany), gave birth to twin cubs in December 2008. The cubs died cause the mother didn't have enough milk to feed them...
VERA, mother of the famous Polar Bear "Flocke" (Nuernberg Zoo, Germany), gave birth to twin cubs in December 2008. The cubs died, only 2,5 weeks old, of coccidiosis (intestinal parasite).  Where did this parasite come from, if not from the mother...
For both of this unhappy mothers a new gestation is planned immediately!  
For none of the future cubs is planned, where they go to when they are grown up. The Zoo can't keep them, no Zoo can take them, all Zoos are overfilled already!

AMIRA and PAUL, a lion couple (Berlin Zoo, Germany), had twin cubs 14 month ago. "Moritz" was put to sleep in October 2008, he had a genetic defect. Just now, January 2008,  his brother "Max" follwed him for the same reason...   Nobody wanted them anyway, too much lions are already in Zoos...
This unhappy mother now will get the pill...for some time... Does that mean this unhappy couple can mate in the future again, regardless of the genetic defect ?

We are asking you

Please stop this cruelty to those poor creatures, give them a brake, don't missuse them as "birth machines"! Allow reproduction only, if the animals are healthy and in good condition and make sure there is a place for the future cubs/adult animals already fixed on paper BEFORE they are born !

                                        RESPECT THE ANIMALS !

I HATE zoos. They are not a place of conservation and education as they all claim to be. But a horrible act of cruelty to the poor animals that are confined to barren enclosures day after day. Yes, there are some fantastic looking zoos that create environmental stimulation for their animals but on the other hand there are countless zoos that do not. After all, zoos are a business first and foremost. They are there to make money.

Don't breed unnecessary babies just because they are cute, what are you going to do with them afterwards?

I’m sickened and disgusted. I Beg all Intelligent and Responsible People to Please Stop Letting This Happen STILL.. How can you when your kids will want it to end if they only knew what was happening out there. Please Stand up and fight against the Holocaust already!! Sick Behavior stemming from every ones bad childhood, makes it plain to see who would be abusive parents in the world - and encouraging Abuse & the Killing of beautiful innocent beings. We in the World are Watching You And Need You to do something. And we will take HARD action AS WELL.. WE CAN’T SLEEP AT NIGHT!!! PEOPLE WHO KILL ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THEIR LIVES AND ARE KNOWN FOR ABUSING CHILDREN.. People who do these things to innocent animals & Creatures (who scream and cry and feel the pain), hardly feel the screaming, crying or pain of other human beings who suffer (for other reasons) and should be arrested and put in jail. And I will work on this to happen. OH YES I WILL!! Just as all Hunters will work forever to be able to Hunt what ever beautiful Animal they want… STILL!! “Hunting is not a "sport' in the true sense of the word. A sport is when your opponent has the same options to beat you at a game or contest as you do to beat them.” As we “The Good People & Parents” teach as many kids as we can, when ever we can “THAT THIS IS WRONG”, and that you know the reasons why, but we wait for you to do something about it. We Know You Can Do This... JUST PUT YOUR FOOT DOWN AND LET OTHERS KNOW YOU HAVE 0 TOLLERANCE FOR ALL CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. It’s crimes against humanity because it’s humanity doing the crime, now they should be doing the time…
