animal_lover_uk Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Chimpanzees are systematically trained to do very unnatural things. They are transported in trucks in inadequate cages without food or clean water. I know of one chimp subjected to all of these things. His stage name was, Toto. Beaten and chained for 20 years, he left lived in a cage the size of a car boot. He was allowed out of his cage once, maybe twice a day. To smoke cigarettes and drink tea for a circus in Chile, to amuse the paying public. He was living in an Animal circus. After 20 years of this, he has been rescued and animal rights activists are now trying to raise money to send him to a chimpanzee refuge in Zambia.

theist Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Humans have misunderstood their purpose on this planet. Often hiding behind a verse in Genesis from the Bible where it is said God gave man dominion over the earth. They ignore the next two verse where God then instructs man his diet is to be a vegan one. living from seed bearing plants. They take Dominion to mean they can stomp around brutalize and exploit anything living thing they see. Actually what is meant by Dominion is stewardship. We in the human form have been given head caretaker responsibilities by the real owner of His estate called Earth. We were meant to take care of the garden, property and animals. Instead we have ravaged the garden and are torturing, killing and eating the family pets. Karmicaly caging ourselves in the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
