Animals In Captivity

I got this from Peta's Animal Times. It's facts about animals being kept in captivity and what this means for humans.

*Since 1990, incidents involving big cats have resulted in the killings of approximately 110 big cats, 62 human deaths, and more than 235 human injuries worldwide. Incidents since 1990 involving primates have resulted in the killings of 458 primates, two human deaths, and more than 160 human injuries.
*In June 2005, a lion and a tiger who were kept captive at Best Buy Auto Warehouse in Minnesota bolted from their cage and attacked a 10-year-old boy. The child is now a quadriplegic.
*In March 2005, a man was attacked by two chimpanzees who had escaped from their cage at the Animal Haven Ranch in California. The chimpanzees bit off the man's nose, lips, and testicles, most of his fingers, and his left foor and gouged out one of his eyes before bing shot and killed.
*In NOvember 2004, a 14-year-old boy was attacked by a tiger at the St. Johns County Fair in Florida.
*Also in November 2004, a circusgoer was bitten on the cheek by a chimpanzee at the Hadi Shrine Circus while posing for pictures.
*In June 2004, a 10-year-old Toronto boy was attacked by a Siberian tiger who was let out of his cage so the child could take his picture.
*A North Carolina woman's tiger fatally mauled her 10-year-old nephew in December 2003 after pulling him under a fence and into his cage.

It's not worth it to capture and encage exotic animals. Visit http://www.WildlifePimps.com for ways to help.
