A Day At The Iraq Zoo

**lizbud** · 03-17-2008, 12:49 PM

This is a video shown on GMA show. It aims to depict how much better
the Zoo is now after the launch of war by the US. It still looks pretty primative compared to US Zoos. But the thing that really bothered me is
a display of a regular dog. He is caged alongside of all the other beasts & called the "American Dog".I can't imagine what a pitiful life this dog has
living his life in a Zoo cage.

Are dogs that alien in their culture.

It seems like it with the way they treat them and go around shooting them. It's sad to think other people can't experience what we do with our dogs. That poor dog looked so sad.

The animals don't look happy still and the lions seem like they aren't raised around people.

I don't believe anyone should even try to tame wild animals, but they
should have better living space than a small cage where the big cats
pace back & forth all day.

I agree, the lions were rawring (sp?) at the kids who went up to the cage and the camera. They must be so scared, I don't think they just randomly do that unless they are mad or scared.
