Brown Bear

Thanks for your understanding. There are various groups that oppose all animal involvement in entertainment, including zoos. While many zoos do not offer great habitats, some do and as a child some of my own fascination for wildlife emerged during zoo visits. For others who might be interested in this topic, I'm hoping you don't mind my using your spotting to give a couple links (thanks in advance for letting me do this on your spotting!). If you don't care for this, I will remove the comment. http://www.coalitionforanimals.org/entertainment.htm http://ottawahumane.ca/position_statements/entertainmentordisplay.cfm http://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/animals/using/entertainment_1.shtml

Thanks for posting this spotting. I personally don't endorse these kinds of shows where animals are bred to entertain people and then kept in cages when not "performing". I don't know anything about this particular group but do know that others often train animals in cruel ways. I much prefer to see such animals in the wild, or at least in an accredited zoo with good care. Hope you don't mind me offering this observation in connection with your spotting.

Hi Art, can you give us more information about your spot?
