This Zoo in China Puts Visitors in Cages and Lets Animals Roam Free
As a child, I never liked zoos or circuses because I couldn’t understand what was so fun in watching caged and humiliated animals. Now, as an adult, I believe that animal captivity is wrong to the core since other species have the same rights for life and freedom as we do.
There’s been much debate on the animal captivity lately, and it makes sense why – keeping wild creatures in cages is inhumane, to say the least. Just think about it – not only have we deprived other living beings of their natural habitats by harming the environment, but we also dare to imprison them for our own amusement.
It seems that a zoo in China has found an unusual way to bring people closer to the wildlife without caging animals.
The Lehe Ledu Wildlife Zoo lets big cats and other wildlife species, such as bears, roam free and puts visitors in cages instead. This way, people have the opportunity to get extremely close to the wild creatures without the disappointment of seeing them trapped in small cages, like in the most zoos of the world.
Zoo spokeswoman Chan Llang told the OddityCentral,
“We wanted to give our visitors the thrill of being stalked and attacked by the big cats but with, of course, none of the risks.”
There are chunks of meat tied to the outside of moving cages with visitors in order to attract the animals. At the same time, inside these vehicles, the visitors are protected from being eaten. There are also small openings at the top, through which people can offer food to the exotic beasts.
According to Chan Llang, all the visitors are warned “to keep their fingers and hands inside the cage at all times because a hungry tiger wouldn’t know the difference between them and breakfast.”
However, because of the breathtaking photos of lions and tigers jumping onto the cages, the concept has already received some criticism from people who think it’s too dangerous to bring the zoo visitors so close to the wild animals. According to The Daily Mail, some individuals have characterized this unusual park attraction as ‘an accident waiting to happen’.
At the same time, the zoo appears to be extremely popular despite all the dangers. In fact, when the Lehe Ledu Wildlife Zoo was opened in 2015, the tickets were sold out for three months. It seems that people really prefer to see animals freely roaming their natural habitats rather than being locked in cages.
“It’s nothing like I’ve ever experienced in a zoo before,” said visitor Tao Jen. “We’re not looking at them, they’re looking at us – and we’re lunch.”

But men did not like this! The umerrited favour pains pride. Man does not want a GIFT, he want a PRIZE. He want to win the seat to the heaven and not just a favour! Similarly, if we say that God or Nature donnot treats human meat eater just like it does an ant meat eater, it puts us human squarely on the same level with ants!! It is just the owner of the vineyard paying all the workers the same, even those who came late. (again read Mathew 20:12)
"Was meat eating essential for evolution"
The key word here is 'evolution'. The scientific idea of evolution, like 'energy', quantum mechanics etc have been taken over by the advocates of eastern mysticism and twisted to suite their own religious beleifs. Now evolution of religion is an hierachy. A steady progress from better to better, all the way upto becoming god. This then places man at the highest stage in evolution. This egocentric stupidity is what causes utter confusion as to how man should fit in the ecosystem. This is NOT what science teacher. Man IS an animal. The role of meat eating in a human is 100% the same role as in that of a chicken!! If it is evil for man to eat meat, then so it is for a chicken to do so. Mother narture sees all of us, humans and animals EQUALY!! This pains our pride. We want to perceive ourselves as angels walking the land of animals, with different set of higher standard morals, but the truth is nothing of the sort.
Again let me put it clearly. It is not the love for animals that put ants in KK's pants with regard to meat eating if it were so, he would be persuing measures that would realistically change diet across the world. He won't be creating forums about it. Rather, it is an inflated ego. It is humiliating for him to accept the moral responsibility of a chicken. That unlike a lion, he can chose not to eat meat gives him a great sense of moral superiority to animals and other humans. Thats all! Donnot be fooled by his apeal to sympathy to animals.
Lets say a person killing a chicken for food warrants the lable of a murder. Then there, KK goes and kill the murderer! What is the difference between KK and the chicken murderer? KK is just the second murderer! Even a Musclim will say this with regard to how to treat a human murderer. This makes the 'yoga' that KK does worse than all religions! At least a Christian will say leave judgement to God, which makes sense, it is the owner of a property that has the right to be angry should the property gets destroyed. But KK donnot own animals, no matter how his ego may deceive him.
Now kk never goes ahead to check if his grand father's grandfather's grandmother's grandfather's grandmother's,... Was a vegeterian or not. Of course he wasn't a vegeterian and thus if meat eaters doesn't deserve to leave, then neither do KK cause he is a great great descender of a meat eater. Were there an idiot at that time to declare a murder to all meat eaters, then perharps KK's great grand mother would have gone, and KK would never be born. Hope your getting the lesson: nothing in this world is so bad that nothing cannot come out from it. I thought this saying was there in Verdas. Kk should just read his scriptures well. But of course the religion kk has bought into is a mind rotting hoge-podge that I won't recomend anyone to even try it!
Next we need Slaughterhouse where meat eaters are put in and the animals let out to watch them SO AS TO TEACH THE BASTARDS A LESSON AND SEE IF THEY FEEL PAIN
Was eating meat essential for evolution? Thats an ongoing debate, but would you step into a slaughterhouse yourself, to feel the pain, or are you just targeting meat eaters alone, who number in the millions, if not billions? I bet you would "chicken out", (pun intended) because you wouldnt want to feel that pain, but you want other people to feel the pain. I also bet you think you have an excuse to get out of it by being a non meat eater aswell, but you werent always a non meat eater. In the begining, homosapiens hunted for food, and you were part of it just like me and everyone else on the planet, or have you forgotten??.. There was a time when you chowed down on raw meat, in a cave, in the stone age. (no separation between you and anything, or any timeline!)
You may be a vegan, and you may want to save all the lovely animals, but your point of view always falls flat on its face, because you are still in favor of killing people, (aside from harboring other twisted perspectives), and thats just not very evolved, in my opinion.
