This is a quote from a BF thread about acceptance from the public:
"For all of human history we have accomplished impossible things, strived and achieved impossible goals. So why do we still stop at impossible, why do we use such a false word. Anything is possible in this world, full of wonders, knowledge and infinite possibilities, anything can happen.
This is why we cannot sit by idly watching as we are slowly stomped out of existence. Every day, every year things get worse for us zoophiles, we experience a side of humanity that normal people rarely see but know of: Cruelty.
We are kind, loving and caring people and yet we are treated as monsters, and are forced to hide in a ever-fading shadow, and yet we are content with this fading shadow, but how long will this shadow last? And when it ends what happens to us?
I hope that we never see the day when all hope is truly lost for zoophiles, but it will come if we just sit there waiting for the impossible to become possible -- we have to make it possible. We have to be the ones to do something before it is too late and before we lose any more people to self-doubt and depression.
We are strong, we stand here today, living, breathing and moving, even after all we have face. Think about what keeps you [online], is it your lover? Or is it something more. For me its a sense of purpose to bring happiness to all and to bring about a world-changing event, to start the era of love and unite man and animal as equals.
I know the idea of speaking out is scary or even stupid, but can we really just sit here expecting things to get better and watch as we lose all we love, is that really an option, is it? I want nothing more than to live a life in peace without having to censor myself or even having to worry of going to prison for being who I am.
I propose that we do something, even the smallest thing to help make a change. We cannot sit by, whether it is because we are ignorant or scared. We must do something because if you believe that, then there is no point to fighting for it, then you best be ready for what comes when the problem becomes too great and be ready to lose all that you love, because it's only going to get worse if we sit by and do nothing. I believe in what we are and what we do, I also believe that we can make this impossible task possible if we really tried.
This is all I wanted to say. Make your choice wisely because time is running out and more and more people will suffer if we do nothing." (End of quote)
I agree that zoos are doing nothing, but I don't know if there's anything zoos can do, because any attempt at acceptance would make the zoo(s) doing it a target. What do others think?
