A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

More correctly, "the ass in the tiger's skin." Is that something like a wolf in sheep's clothing? LOL.

Did'nt that gorilla which learned sign language refer to zebras as white tigers?
wade -- i love what you're doing with the blog with the zoo animals and the family items. i know how much you love animals and i know how important your family is, and this shows. the animal news is gving you a strong identity.
Paul,
Did they teach the gorilla that there was a white, and gold tiger? If they did, why would it give the sign to a zebra. If they didn't, it was probably associating strips with a tiger, and it surely wasn't gold.

Henry,
Here's how identity's work. If I say it is wrong, I am accused of bitting the hand that feeds me. If I defend, I am told I am Obama listening to the Minister Wright. It is about what I have seen, and the conclusions I have come to spending over half my life belly deep in it.
Regards,
Wade
Wade-I don't know what the gorilla was taught. Coco refered to zebras as "white tigers" I think. I remember that one of the chimpanzees which learned sign language used to call ducks "water birds", combining two separate signs, even though there was a sign for "duck".
