Lisa Wathne Quotations

One very obvious indication elephants don't do well in captivity is the fact that zoos are having so much trouble breeding them.

Had this little lion lived, he would have been doomed to a life of extreme confinement and boredom.

We're pleased that they (USDA inspectors) did go out there but still feel cautious about this situation because the regulations that the USDA enforces are minimum, and I emphasize minimum. In cases where they declare that there are no violations of the Animal Welfare Act, animals can still be languishing in really abysmal conditions.

I think at the very least, the United States Department of Agriculture should impose a fine and take every measure possible that this kind of action will never happen again.

It's especially concerning when a celebrity keeps wild animals as that promotes the whole concept of wild animals as pets to the public.

It looks like a dilapidated roadside zoo. The animals have no enrichment of any kind. They are deprived of everything that's natural to them.

The birds should have gone to a sanctuary.
