Chris......I'll take your word on this.......I can't watch that. No way.....I'll go postal.

Some of the pics on the page made me realise not to watch or read the other links. I have a huge problem with all of this of course but I react very very badly to this stuff.

I will say that I did visit a wild life santuary recently that cares for retired animals. They had been using many of them in Film and television but they stopped that a few years ago due to "Problems". One of their most famouse animals was the Cadbury Easter Egg Lion.

it was sick. one guy hitting his chimp was really bad. much of it, they didnt show the animals being hurt, but described it. old Disney wildlife movies were very bad. the one where they used a turntable to launch lemmings off a cliff in Calgary, Alberta horrified me.

I need to get my vidoe of the neglact Ivan went through after I was fored for doing the right thing, taking good care of him. Did anyone see the Nova special obout Elephants? It showed Hansa's mother at Woodland Park Zoo with chains on her ankles while giving birth. I was working there when she was born. So sad what we are doing to these beauties and their habitats.

I often fantasize about the animals taking back control; i.e. Animal Farm style...

Yeah, I always wondered about Irwin jumping on his critters. But I did not see him listed on site, so he may have been diligent in his treatment of animals (at least according to this site)....
