What we're doing to our animals? (reporting from Belgrade, Serbia)

It is sickening and horrifying what people around the world do to animals. I have seen the abuse so much, and I'm sure you have seen it - and may even be guilty yourself of denying animals their rights to freedom.

I always love to visit zoo's as to me this reflects on the hearts of the people of that city and country. If people allow their local zoo to continue operate as an animal jail, and they dont voice their disgust at it, it tells me alot of the people of that city.

Some of the worst offending zoo's in the world are visited ever day by so-called "animal lovers", These people walk by these wonderful animals in their small cages, yet nobody sees the signs of frustration in these animals: the sadness in their eyes and their monotenous behaviour. Are we blind!

The San Jose Zoo (Costa Rica), Split Zoo (Croatia), Belgrade Zoo (Serbia), Moscow Zoo (Russia) are among the biggest offenders. Look at the animals around you, in your zoo if you have. Speak out and do something!
