I agree. Clipping, declawing, keeping them pinned up is not good. My animals go out when they wnt and come in when they want. And I live in an apartment. We are talking about the ills of zoos and why they need to make their records public. So you know what you paid for! You just don't get it. Stick to your econmics and leave the rest to those who understand and "KNOW" the truth and refuse to turn a blind eye to it.
