Ok, ok, so I know i didn't post yesterday. I have a good excuse, I hit my head and ended up sleeping through school and stuff, it was not fun for anyone, so thats the reason I didn't post yesterday.
But i promise to make it up to y'all by posting a really LONG BLOG!
TODAY however, i'm going to talk about this movie:
WATCH THE TRAILER HERE
IF YOU ARE AN ANIMAL LOVER YOU MUST SEE THIS MOVIE!!!
Its truly an eye-opening experience.
What is it about?
well I'm not going to give away the story or anything, but its a "documentary" about the argument of keeping exotic animals as pets. For example: Lions, tigers, bears, monkeys etc.
But the coolest thing about this movie, is that it literally shows both sides of the argument, fairly, not casting either in a bad light. It truly makes you consider both sides, and then when you are finished watching it, you can decide which view you think is right....
It has some pretty sad parts, but don't worry it has a happy ending.
My view:
I think keeping exotic animals as pets is wrong.
Now before people jump on my back taking one side or the other. I just want to explain something, I understand both sides of the argument. There is a tiny part of me (just like there is that tiny part in every person) that often wishes she/he could have a wild animal. (In my case a tiger)
But the fact of the matter is, its a WILD ANIMAL! which means they are not domesticated. Its not fair to anyone in the situation to have a wild animal. Yeah they are cute and manageable as cubs, but not as adults. Its not fair to the animal to keep them cooped up in a small cage, Its not fair for the person that the animal attacks when they get out. Its not fair to the owner when they have to give them up.
I just think its wrong....
Which is why i donate to: The wild animal Sanctuary. (its right here in Colorado, and it is flipping spectacular. Its $10 to get in, but every penny of it goes STRAIGHT to the animals.)
It rescues and cares for animals, that where kept as pets or in circuses. Each animal has its own story which is printed in a book that you read as you look at the animals. It gives the animals a chance to behave how they are meant to behave. Not as a pet, but as a tiger, a wolf, a lion etc.
Pat Craig is the nicest coolest guy on the planet!!!
My Daddy 'adopted' (basically, you give them X amount of money, and it goes to feeding and taking care of an animal of your choosing.) a Tiger for me named Nala. Shes beautiful, and I have visited her many times.
So yes,
If you live in colorado and would like to go to the Wild Animal Sanctuary let me know,
If you don't and you plan to visit soon, and would like to go let me know.
Its a life changing experience.
