Thanks partly to the kind of poets that we now have and partly to funding, there’s been a gigantic shift in the way poetry is perceived... Poems on the Underground, poets in schools, football clubs, zoos Picture Quote #1

In most countries, it is possible to visit zoos and see bored animals pacing back and forth in cages, with nothing to do but wait for the next meal. Circuses are even worse places for animals. Their living conditions are deplorable, especially in travelling circuses where cages have to be small so that they can go on the road Picture Quote #1

We have wild animals in zoos, yet people rarely meet their ‘food’ face to face Picture Quote #1

When I was 7 and went to the zoo with my second-grade class, I saw chimpanzee eyes for the first time - the eyes of an unhappy animal, all alone, locked in a bare, concrete-floored, iron-barred cage in one of the nastier, old-fashioned zoos. I remember looking at the chimp, then looking away Picture Quote #1

It was wrong to capture wild animals and confine them in captivity for people to go and gawk at them. And that’s basically how zoos got started. But once you do that, and once you have animals that have been bred in captivity, you’re really stuck with them in some sense. You can’t return them to the wild Picture Quote #1

Evolution has developed man to such a high degree that he builds zoos to keep his ancestors in cages Picture Quote #1

Let us free all the animals in the zoos to show them that we are not animals! Picture Quote #1

In zoos, along with the animals, the humanity of man is also prisoned! No cage is humane! Picture Quote #1

National parks, zoos, protected areas, polluted seas - using the whole world as a readymade, I thought about it as a stage set. To activate a stage set you need a drama, an actor to offset it Picture Quote #1

What a lonely species we are, searching for signals of life from other galaxies, adopting companion animals, visiting parks and zoos to commune with other beasts. In the process, we discover our shared identity Picture Quote #1

I became very critical of zoos and circuses and keeping animals in captivity. I wish it was against the law Picture Quote #1

People forget the good that zoos do. If it weren’t for zoos, we would have so many species that would be extinct today Picture Quote #1

In my perfect world, we would establish perhaps four national zoos of unimpeachable quality and close the rest of them Picture Quote #1

We would consider it cruel to confine a dog permanently in a kennel. Yet we visit zoos where hundreds of wild animals are kept permanently in the equivalent of a kennel Picture Quote #1

We are not myths of the past, ruins in the jungle, or zoos. We are people and we want to be respected, not to be victims of intolerance and racism Picture Quote #1

Something will have gone out of us as a people if we ever let the remaining wilderness be destroyed; if we permit the last virgin forests to be turned into comic books and plastic cigarette cases; if we drive the few remaining members of the wild species into zoos or to extinction; if we pollute the last clear air and dirty the last clean streams and push our paved roads through the last of the silence Picture Quote #1

We're in 'Jurassic Park' territory. If we go to the zoo in the future, we'll have zoos for extinct animals Picture Quote #1

I know zoos are no longer in people's good graces. Religion faces the same problem. Certain illusions about freedom plague them both Picture Quote #1
