Let my People Go

Regarding “Animal House” [The Rakish Angle, April]: All animals in the entertainment industry suffer; it does not matter if they live at the Como Zoo or are shuttled around the country performing for the circus. No zoo anywhere can mimic the habitat in the wild for captured creatures and I do not agree with the statement: “A lot of animals in the zoo have chosen this as their life mission.” Life mission being what? Away from their families, imprisoned in cages, unbearable boredom, and being stared at day in and day out? I don’t think so.
