All animals are the same, and I dislike the idealism prevalent in 'animal lovers'.
For example: furry, big-eyed creatures are simply adoreable and must be saved, but multi-legged, stinging things must keep away or face being squashed.
There is no such thing as a bad animal - just a bad sense of approach to it. Granted, a puppy or kitten may be more aesthetically pleasing and human-pandering than a centipede or a wild rat, but remember that domesticated species have been weakened through years of human interference with their instincts and evolution.
I'm not sure I can even agree with owning pets, let alone agree with zoos. Zoos are animal prisons, justified because 'this is the only way to see some of these creatures'.
No, there is another way - get off your fat useleses arse and earn some money to pay for a trip to Africa or Australia. Witnessing beasts in the wild leaves one free of the guilt present as we gawp into the eyes of a lonely, lost animal though steel bars.
