A zoo is a good place to make a spectacle of yourself, as long as you don't make a spectacle of the animals.
Zoos are becoming facsimiles - or perhaps caricatures - of how animals once were in their natural habitat.

I meant what I said, and I said what I meant. An elephant's faithful one-hundred percent!

The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.

The question is not, 'Can they reason?' nor, 'Can they talk?' but rather, 'Can they suffer?'
In the end, we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand and we will understand only what we are taught.
