It's Not Happening At The Zoo

They cling precariously to the top of what is left of the ice floe, their fragile grip the perfect symbol of the tragedy of global warming.

Captured on film by Canadian environmentalists, the pair of polar bears look stranded on chunks of broken ice.   Well, of course, that one word should be your clue:  environmeddlists.  This photo was taken in August, from shore.  The melting iceberg is about 100 yards away.  And in August, even in the North, a funny thing happens:  ice melts.  The idea, of course, is that human activity is going to kill the planet, and the polar bears are going to die first because they can't reach their food sources.

Even your local zoo peddles this idiocy.  Why?  That's easy:  it's profitable.  Taking money from the gullible is the easiest way, bar none, to get cash.  Hit their emotions, and most folks reach for their wallets.  Actually, that's a good idea: reach for your wallet - in order to keep it in your pocket or your purse, where it belongs.

Believe it or not, even as enviros are crying doom and gloom, the populations of most polar bears are either increasing, or stable.  It's kind of amazing, when you think about it: zoos claim to be "educational organizations" - yet your zoo freely peddles the same lies that Greenpeace (which hates zoos) and similar organizations distribute on a 'round-the-clock basis.  In general, zoos are as tightly focused upon education as Portland mayor Tommy Potter is fixated upon the problems generated by illegal aliens in our community.  In other words: not at all.

Your zoo is focused upon making money - as it does through concerts all summer long, through "zoolights", and through a host of other promotions.  Did you really think that they are there because they care about animals?  Then consider the effects of concerts two or three times a week - at night - all summer long.  Do you think it happens so that the captive animals can enjoy the music?

They hold such events despite the animals, not to improve their lot.  By doing so, they raise funds that are needed to propagandize the popular themes that Metro promotes:  human-caused global warming, the "need" for you to live in a sardine can, light-rail, conversation (oops, that would be "conservation").

Your zoo adheres closely to the AlGore model of environmeddle religion; the primary tenet of which is that you need to alter your lifestyle so that you don't kill the planet.  And like AlGore, who continues to fly around in private jets, your zoo doesn't believe that the rules they push upon you should apply to them.
