Glad you liked it!

It was quite interesting indeed John!

You bet! It was quite warm while there, more than enough for a dip in the ocean!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I am sure there are opinions for all sides, though I do ten to think that while you are correct in theory, I believe that animal shows are even worse, book are nothing like seeing them live, and while the best option would be to take children to their natural habitat most often than not it will be too expensive. Perhaps non caged zoos are the best option?

Haha…wine and anything erotic have a tendency to get along pretty well!!

Hi Federico,

We wrote you personally regarding this topic, and you suggested that we comment on your website so there can be a discussion.

We ask that people reconsider promoting zoos, Orangutan schools, Crocodile farms, Elephant camps, etc…. If you are familiar with us and our blog, you know that we are big supporters of animals in their natural habitat, and not using animals for entertainment purposes. Orangutans should not be learning to use ipads, or learning to paint. We understand that the “experts” their “educate” guests, and ensure them that these animals are happy, but we don’t believe that they are.

These animals deserve to be free, and to live their lives naturally, if not in the wild, then at a sanctuary where they don’t have to do anything that doesn’t come naturally to them.

It is important that we stop supporting these types of places that use animals as entertainment.
It is always against their will, and we know we wouldn’t want to be forced to do things, so why force others to?

Some people may argue that we need zoos and Orangutan schools to educate children about animals. We don’t feel animals should be used or exploited in any way so anyone can be educated. There is a wealth of information in books, and wildlife shows. Parents can even take their kids to where animals live freely.

All beings deserve freedom.

Very convenient, isn’t it?
