Zoo is cruelty
Zoos claim to educate people and preserve species, but they usually fall short on both counts.
Most zoo enclosures are very small, and rather than promoting respect or understanding of animals, signs often provide little more information than an animal’s species, diet, and natural range.
Animals’ normal behavior is seldom discussed, much less observed, because their natural needs are rarely met.
Birds’ wings may be clipped so that they cannot fly, aquatic animals are often without adequate water, and many animals who live in large herds or family groups in nature are kept alone or, at most, in pairs.
Natural hunting and mating behaviors are virtually eliminated by regulated feeding and breeding regimens.
Animals are closely confined, lack privacy, and have little opportunity for mental stimulation or physical exercise.
These conditions often result in abnormal and self-destructive behaviors or “zoochosis.”
Cat Loves Her Snakes !!!
Deffer a 12 year old deaf Siamese/Tiger cat and Ball Python adults are best of friends so to speak. They curl up and sleep together on my bed. I really love admiring how they have taken a mutual interest in each other over the past eight years with no negative behavior toward each other. It sure would be nice if humanity could learn from snakes how to co-exist with all living creatures. There is SO much we can learn from animals if people would only take the time to notice.

Steamed to Perfection
It doesn’t take long for fresh vegetables to lose some of their essential nutrients so it makes sense that the older fresh vegetables are, the more likely it is they’ve lost some of that goodness. Not so with Green Giant SteamCrisp. Green Giant picks its corn at its peak, then steams that corn (in the can) quickly, to preserve the simple goodness nature intended. Green Giant SteamCrisp technology creates perfectly steamed, great tasting corn that can be a part of any meal, any time.
