Je me souviens de ma première visite au zoo d’Anvers à l’âge de 7 ans. Je ne comprenais pas pourquoi des animaux sauvages étaient enfermés dans des cages et des enclos. Je me souviens encore du regard d’un singe, dans lequel on pouvait lire la détresse.

Quarante ans plus tard, on se pose encore la même question. Il est temps de mettre fin à cette absurdité.

Merci au Soir pour cette interview de François Verheggen, de l’Université de Liège.

😔 #Happy, #BronxZoo #Elephant at Center of #AnimalRights Case, Died this week at 55

Activists had sued in a bid to secure her the fundamental human right to bodily liberty. #Zoo officials said she was well cared for & called the lawsuit frivolous. Yet, Happy was euthanized after a period of hospice care, prompted by a recent deterioration in her health.
