ZOO

 

A zoo is a place where animals live in captivity and are put on display for people to view. The word “zoo” is short for “zoological park.”

Think about that for a minute.

Where animals live in captivity?

Put on display for people to view?

Some creature on this planet is taken away from their home and shipped to another land and put in a cage for people to look at.

Justification of scientific study or saving vulnerable animals from extinction makes the excuses for such action acceptable. Not all will be able to view the planet’s neighbor in their natural habitat so the zoo is the next best thing?

There are many confinements. There are jails and prisons to keep bad people behind bars and away from the rest of society. Are these zoos without tourist tickets? Work places are zoos. You are expected to be behind bars at a certain time and cannot leave before the bell rings or you get fired. Relationships are zoos. Even though no one knows what goes on behind the doors in the bedroom, your interaction with your friends and neighbors will be observed and analyzed. Schools are zoos where you perform for the audience of the parents and rewarded by the teacher.

The problem of being in a zoo is you can’t get out. You are at the welfare of someone else.

This is our zoo. There is nowhere out. There is nowhere we can escape to. Are we being observed…?
