A quote I ran across today.

"We only conserve what we love, we only love what we understand, we only understand what we know, we only know what we are taught.”
Baba Dioum, Senegalese Ecologist


This was in reference to a killer whale killing a trainer at Sea World in Orlando and why zoos are necessary.  Without this form of education people won't care about the animals enough to make an attempt to save them.  I personally love zoos and think many of them do a fantastic job to educate the pubic and they should be kept around.
