I don't like zoos but I'm a lot more troubled by animals used in research. I wish I had the courage to liberate some. I never did but I have nothing but admiration for those who do.

I'm troubled by both, although research is a lot more openly brutal, whereas zoos are more implicitly brutal and the brutality lies in the concept and behind the scenes, whereas the horrors of vivisection are able to be seen right away and are hard to hide. And yes, I agree. Those who liberate animals are my heroes, and I respect them immensely. Takes so much courage and knowledge I doubt I'll ever have, and I have no ill will towards those people. Anarchists who do have a problem with it...well, I don't understand it.
