The following was written by Christy Hall, a PETA intern.
Recently an incident took place at the Central Park Zoo in New York City where a peacock escaped and ended up on a fifth floor window ledge, so I figured there’s never a better time to learn how zoos harm animals and why they’re definitely not for you!
Did ya know that…
) plan a trip to witness them in their natural surroundings (just dont get too close)!So what can you do to help animals in zoos? Don’t purchase tickets to one and share this information with your friends!

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)

i live near edmonton alberta (the zoo that holds petas famously talked about lucy) and went there for my 17th birthday last year, and vowed to never go back, in fact on my own birthday i ended up crying! dont get me wrong, the zookeepers there treat them with such love and care – but even that cant make up for their tiny homes they live in. most animals there just looked so depressed and bored and lifeless.
ever since i have vowed never to go to that zoo again.
