captive in dehiwela


Today there are more tigers in cages than in the wild. according to the Born Free Foundation (http://www.bornfree.org.uk) countless thousands of tigers and other big cats are kept in appalling conditions in zoos, circuses and private ownership.
In the age of the internet and wildlife television, do we still need these animals in captivity for the amusement of mankind?

It's such a shame to see such a glorious animal confined into such small area...
As usual, we know the problem, we talk about it but nobody is doing much about it...
I think society as a whole have to change to present conditions and tackle these issues i a much bigger way... No one person or even one country can action this out... Mankind has to make a difference in my humble opinion
