In class today we were talkign about zoos, and then the conversation turned to the cases where animals are executed for killing people. It would be one thing if the animals was extremely violent and viscious. An isolated case, where it is probably the fault of people.
It is a horrible when a child, or anyone, is mauled to death by animals, but how can it be the fault of the animal? They are acting upon instinct. if we are going to blame an animal for something instinctual, we are acknowledging that they are capable of reason and that they should have more rights and should notbe kept in cages. For some reason people dont look at it like this. They think along the lines of, "we need to blame something" so therefor they blame something that really cannot be blamed,
