At the zoo, Jeannette gets licked by a CHEETAH!

How do you feel about zoos?  Do you like going?

Tell me a story that involves you and an animal (domestic or wild)?

  1. I like zoos, I think they are pretty interesting. I've been to at least 6 zoos in my life, in a lot of different places, and all of them are really nice. But the best one was last Sunday when I went to Omega Park. I loved to give carrots the caribous, deer and I loved to see the wolves... One of the caribous almost came inside our car, we were scared and I almost closed the door on its head. And one deer put the head inside our car and ate Cecilia's cereal bar, that was on the seat, with the plastic around it. We all started screaming and saying that Cecilia should put her hand inside its mouth, but she did not do it. We laughed a lot about it, and we were really worried about what was gonna happen to the animal. It was a different zoo, and a nice day.

  4. when i was a little kid i would always like going to zoo because i really like animals.i have a lot of memories with animals because in my childhood i had about 3 cats 5 birds and 1 dog and 2 hamsters. so my family and i really love animals. one of my favorite story with an animal is with my cat because somehow he always knew how i was feeling. so if i was happy or sad he would come to see me and sit next to me.

  5. I love zoos with my whole heart. I think they are amazing. I love the animals and the vibe and everytime I go I have lots of fun. When we travel and I know that the city I’m in has a zoo, I always say to my mom for us to go, and she says that zoos are the same everywhere. It’s kinda true though but I don’t care. In the zoo of Buenos Aires, we could feed the animals and I even took a selfie with a giraffe. So I think it’s really cool and I always go when I can.

  9. I like zoos but im not crazy about them because i feel like the animlas should be free in there natural habitats but sometimes i like going with my baby cousin and you get to learn a little bit more about more animals. Once i went to italy to visit some family and my uncle had a cat in its farm and i was 4 so i was a little rough with it and eventually it scratched me near the eye, but good thing it didn't get my eye but it was close and now I'm scared of cats and don't like like being near them

  10. I don’t like zoos. I think that animals should be in the wild, and they shouldn’t be kept in a caged in area to amuse humans. I’ve been to one when I was younger with my dad. I did have fun, but even when I was younger I felt bad for them. I remember one time when I was 12 years old when I feed a squirrel for a while. The squirrel got so comfortable with me that it went onto my lap. I was kinda freakout, but it was all good.

  11. Zoo`s I don`t really agree because i dont think it`s putting an wild animal in cage rather than it`s natural habitat.I don`t really get excited about going to the zoo I guess for me I kinda grew out of it maybe? when I was a kid I went to a zoo with my dad in Florida I forget what it was called, I remember holding many birds in my hands and one of the birds pooped on me! guess birds don't like me LOL

  12. I have been to zoos before but I think that animals should be free and not be locked up just for show. It might be cool to see all these different species of animals but in the end we know it isn't right. I have had many experiences with domestic animals. I had two budgies but one day they flew away, I guess they just wanted to be free.

  13. I love animals but I don't like animal in cage. I like see them running free in the wild but not in a narrow cage. When I was 7 years old, my parents bought me two hamster and I loved them so much. I feeded them everyday, and evenly let them running outside of the cage. But one day when I put my finger in the cage and trying to stroke them, one of them spited my finger as my finger is his favorite food. I cried loud. Since them I didn't stroke them or put them in my hand anymore.

  14. Ive only ever been to granby zoo. But it was very interesting to learn and see the animals. Plus granby zoo is half water park which is pretty awesome. The only thing I dont like about zoos is that the animals are taken away from their homes and put in cages. Ive had good experiences with animals, but my worst one is when i was 5 and stepped on a bees nest, and you know what happened next.

  15. It would be very cool to be up close with a CHEETAH!!, although I am very against zoos and places that abuse and/or keep animals in captivity for making money out of it. Places like Sea World or Marine Land should be shut down for how awful the conditions are. Ever since I was younger I never really liked zoos because I always felt bad for the animals who always looked so sad and hungry and also looked like they were going insane. I have been to a zoo before, but the zoo was one where you can see animals in huge containments so they had some sort of freedom

  16. I mainly dont like zoos because of the facts that I find them all super boring. Ive only been to Park Safari and when I went I found it the most boring place to go. Ever since then I never went to any zoo ever again.

  17. I honestly love going to the zoo. Looking at animals, feeding them and seeing endangered species is fun but whenever I go to the zoo I feel guilty. I feel guilty because their all locked up but they don't belong there. They belong in the wild. Also the fact that some people mock the animals or taunt it. Honestly how would you feel if you were locked up and other people were making fun of you. It wouldn't be fun would it, not really. I can remember when I was 3 I was outside playing with my cousins until the neighbors German shepard came out. The dog started to run after us. Since I was the youngest I was lost. I didn't know what to do. There were 6 of us and everyone but me ran inside the house. The dog came ab grabbed onto my shoulder. My mom came running out and somehow released the dog off me. My mom got into this huge fight with the neighbor and thats all I can recall. This is one reason Im a cat person..

  18. I personally don’t like going out to places to do things because I don’t really like to adventure. For zoos in this case I used to love going to them but I felt really bad for the animals because they should be left alone in the wild. It’s ok to treat an animal if they are severely injured. But if they aren’t in the wild then they won’t be able to go back because they wouldn’t be trained to hunt for food.

  19. My family takes me to the zoo several times during the summer! I personally love zoos! The particular zoo that I visit only takes injured and animals that are not able to survive in the wild. That is what I like the most about the zoo I visit. I remember one time I got to touch a deer. However, I don't like the zoos that take animals that were born in the zoo and taken from the wild into the zoo.

  20. I like zoos now but when i was a younger kid I was terrified of them. When i was 6 i was terrified of turkeys and when i was in Florida i went to Walt Disney. At Walt Disney there is a place with just birds and there was a big turkey and i was scared but my dad told me to say and grabbed my hand really hard and i couldn't run so he told me to feed it and i did. I walked up to him and he bit me really hard on the leg but it didn't hurt but i was still crying because of how scared i was.

  21. The last time I went to the zoo it wasn't a good experience for me. I was walking looking at the animals and I smelt something really bad. It smelt like fart, of course being Connor I got blamed for it by my brother and they were all telling me to take a shower. Little did they know we were next to the donkeys... Donkeys don't smell good.
