Letters to the Sun: Wild and exotic animals should never be in captivity

Re: Proposal to regulate mobile petting zoos in B.C. cites ‘distress’ for animals Kudos to Port Moody Councillor Kyla Knowles for her resolution to the UBCM to regulate mobile live animal programs, otherwise known as petting zoos. Wild and exotic animals are particularly susceptible to stress, as they have evolved over centuries to a completely different set of environmental circumstances than are provided either in captivity, or at a children’s birthday party. Letters to the editor should be sent to sunletters@vancouversun.com. The editorial pages editor is Hardip Johal, who can be reached at hjohal@postmedia.com.
