* my visit to the zoo

i love the zoo...i love animals...wanted to go there for many years...
so i saw so many beautiful animals...the lions, tigers, giraffes, panthers, nocturnal cats, eagles, all kinds of birds...all kinds of deers, elephants..chimps, ducks, alligators, a white peacock...
so i had lots of questions that i wanted to put forth..i dont have answers...but they are sociological...just for you guys to wonder!!
1. why are people fascinated by animals?
2.when we asked kids there fav animal...they generally had same answers..like 'lion' and elephant...human society really likes to put lions on top (is this coz of the power factor...power is so mysterious!)
i mean we attribute power to lions, and we place everything we think is powerful on the top (includes men, technology, nuclear arms)...remember THIS IS A PERCEPTION...capitalism makes power a material thing...(exception is God- for the believers)
3. why were some birds caged and others were not?
4. how do the non-caged birds know what's their territory...and they never would attack people
5. i was so broken seeing the elephants since their hind feet were chained...chains are created by human society!!!...(something we need to learn from animals!!)........i strongly think that elephants shouldnt be i the zoo...coz you see them everywhere here...
6. its amazing how they choose how many and of which sex are the animals to be put together..like i dont think they will put two male chimps and one female one together (the men will tear each other apart)..ahahahha
most animals were in pairs, even families...
7. but mister lion was alone...the lion was amazing...he kept taking rounds at least 40 times..in the same way, never changed it..i wonder why??
8. we later saw the lioness was caged and he was taking rounds next to the gate (on the other side was the lioness)...i ask..WHO THE HELL SEPARATED THEM...??i bet the lion was broken...he must be torn apart..wondering why his lady was on the other side in a cage...ooooooh...that hurts...he's not human that you can tell him (remember all people are not people..even we have this side to us!!)

animal behaviour is so amazing.......you could sit for hours and watch it!!
i will be going to the zoo regularly now!
