“It is disappointing that elephants live in zoos and circuses, chained for days and months on end, forced to live in restricted spaces with no resemblance of anything natural. They simply exist to entertain the public. The Sanctuary elephants have freedom to do what they want, when they want, where they want. The decisions that are made about their lives are theirs to make.”
Carol Buckley
“PETA is calling on all zoos to follow the lead of the Detroit Zoo and the San Francisco Zoo and retire their elephants to sanctuaries and permanently close their elephant exhibits.”
Michael McGraw
“I think the monkeys at the zoo should have to wear sunglasses so they can't hypnotize you.”
Jack Handy
“Life is a zoo in a jungle.”
Peter De Vries
“I've actually gone to the zoo and had monkeys shout to me from their cages, "I'm in here when you're walking around like that?"”
Robin Williams
“Someone told me it's all happening at the zoo”
Paul Simon
“Yippies, Hippies, Yahoos, Black Panthers, lions and tigers alike - I would swap the whole damn zoo for the kind of young Americans I saw in Vietnam.”
Spiro T. Agnew
