“...animals don't escape from somewhere but from something”

“Animals don't escape to somewhere, but from something.”

“Whatever the reason for wanting to escape, sane or insane, zoo detractors should realize that animals don't escape to somewhere but from something.”

“We are cynical about our own species, but less so about animals, especially wild ones. We might not shelter them from habitat destruction, but we do tend to shelter them from excessive irony.”

“There are animals we haven't stopped by. Don't think they're harmless. Life will defend itself no matter how small it is.”

“If you don't have dreams, how do you maneuver reality? Where do you get the ideas to change reality if not from dreams?”

“There are many examples of animals coming to surprising living arrangements...where an animal takes a human being or another animal to be one of it's kind.”
