Zoológico sem animais
“Agora se lembraram dos animais, que estão aí há tanto tempo?”, perguntava-se o taxista, inconformado, enquanto o carro atravessava a multidão de pessoas que realizaram um “abraço” ao zoológico de Buenos Aires, no último domingo, carregando faixas e cartazes.
Um dos espaços públicos mais célebres da capital argentina está no centro de uma polêmica que tem contornos ecológicos e políticos. Fundado em 1875 dentro do complexo de parques Tres de Febrero, em Palermo, o zoo porteño reúne 2 mil animais de 73 espécies, uma imensa área verde e prédios vitorianos.
O parque pertence à cidade, mas está sob concessão desde 1991. Às vésperas de um leilão marcado para definir o destino do complexo, um grupo de ativistas de direitos dos animais tem se mobilizado para pedir que os bichos sejam devolvidos à natureza.
No lugar de um zoológico tradicional, pedem que se faça um “parque ecológico” sem a presença dos animais, e que se destine mais a funções educativas e de pesquisas. Nos últimos dias, as manchetes dos jornais, que diziam: “Propõem que zoológico não tenha animais”, não deixava de causar certa graça, por mais nobre que seja a causa.
O fundo do debate, porém, é político. Os ativistas estão também opondo-se à administração da cidade, que é comandada por Mauricio Macri (PRO), um dos mais fortes opositores de Cristina Kirchner. Por conta disso, os meios governistas abraçaram a causa dos grupos mobilizados e também pedem um zoo sem bichos.
Seja qual for a motivação dos envolvidos, o fato é que a instituição vem deixando a desejar. Segundo relatórios recentes, de 1990 a 2008 o zoológico perdeu 31 espécies de mamíferos e 72 de pássaros, representando 23% e 55%, respectivamente, das coleções. O parque, que lota aos finais de semana, é demasiado voltado à diversão, com longas filas e crianças ávidas por alimentar os animais sem muita regulação. Pesquisa não parece ser sua prioridade.
Entre um panelaço pelas restrições ao dólar e uma marcha contra a violência, os porteños agora também protestam pelo destino de seus animais. É a animada democracia argentina.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

Wow, this post is nice, my younger sister is analyzing these

Thanks for such a helpful checklist. Will definitely suggest this blog to my good friends who are always seeking such specifics.
You lost me, buddy. I mean, I imagine I get what youre declaring. I realize what you are saying, but you just seem to have ignored that there are some other men and women within the world who see this matter for what it really is and might not agree with you. You may perhaps be turning away a decent amount of people who might have been supporters of your weblog.
