Guest guest Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 How do zoos teach us to perceive nonhuman animals and our relationship to them? www.NoVoiceUnheard.org " Finally, someone has the courage to question zoos. Animals in zoos are not ambassadors teaching us about the natural world, they're unwilling prisoners, teaching us how we as humans seem to need to dominate every living being on the planet. This is a brave book and a much needed voice on behalf of the animals. " - Bill Maher, Host of HBO's “Real Time with Bill Maher” " Derrick Jensen lays bare the reality of zoos: prisons for the wild creatures whose worlds we have utterly destroyed with our ‘progress'. He makes apparent the repression and alienation that zoos represent… Yet, there is the glint of the unbreakable spirit of life in each of these beautiful living beings' eyes, and Jensen infuses us with hope for something better. He gives us the courage to do whatever it takes to reclaim a wild, pure and interconnected life with the natural world. " - Andy Hurley, drummer, Grammy-nominated rock band Fall Out Boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
