Throughout the semester, espeically last week, we talked about eco tourism, animals in zoos , if this is write or wrong, etc.

Alot of what was brought up was that human traits seem to be characterized onto these wild animals, because of children books, movies etc. And so when animals, act wild, like animals, they are killed, or demonized... when in fact this is their nature, and by taking them out of the habitat and placing them in to a constructed one, expecting them to act in a way that they are not built to, that is a constructed view that animals cannot live up to, and many times are punished for not living up to.

Why im posting this is because getting ready for school this morning, i saw a news clip on the Today show, regarding animals that had been let loose from a conservervation or perserve in Ohio, before the owner killed him. The newscaster stated... all of these animals have been accounted for, and most killed.. as many environmental activists state was the only choice.

It is the only choice? To kill animals that were taken out of their natural environment and put into a synthetic one... and then let loose into our environment by a human? Doesnt sit right with me.

Overall, just thought it really fit with what this class is about.

Below is a clip from a different news station reporting on the event.
