Chris DeRose Responds to Slash re: Billy and L.A. Zoo

[tumadros]

Many of the original naturalists and biologists studied animals by going out into nature, not enslaving them.

Very well said, diplomatic yet so authentic. Your courage and conviction are to be admired

[lavender880]

I jumped up and down with joy when I watched this!! Thanks Mr. DeRose for being the voice of reason and TRUTH. This was a very gracious reply.

Hey Slash, Mr. DeRose is an animal activist, but he sure doesn't sound misinformed like you make us all out to be!!

Thank you very much for this video, Mr. DeRose. This was like a breath of fresh air!

[annick8713]

amen to that!

[chris5670]

I agree.

[lazooguy]

Hey Mr. DeRose, I work at the zoo and support the elephant exhibit and agree with Slash, however, if Slash dosen't take you up on your offer to go to Africa, I will! never been and would love to go.

[mashandflutter]

Having listened to both arguments I have to agree with Chris. I think Slash's heart is totally in the right place, but there are certain animals, like elephants, which simply cannot naturally be maintained and taken care of in a zoo.

while i admire slash for his musical talent, i hate i when celebrities get political. Zoo's are prisons.

[dreamwildly]

Yes! Thank you Chris!

[Avoice4theUnheard]

SusannahBCN I agree

[beccasworkshop]

I totally agree. It's really time we all shift our thinking about zoos and their purpose and start thinking in more educated and compassionate terms. There is really no humane way to "display" an elephant.

[SusannahBCN]

Well said. Zoos and circuses are sad prisons which belong in the past.
