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.

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?
It’s not that I want to replicate your internet site, but I really like the style. Could you tell me which design are you using? Or was it tailor made?
What do you mean exactly? Weird, it seems like we have similar situations, except I am more confident that you two will be together

Awsome blog! I am loving it!! Will be back later to read some more. I am bookmarking your feeds also
What you said made a lot of sense. But, think about this, what if you added a little content? I mean, I dont want to tell you how to run your blog, but what if you added something to maybe get peoples attention? Just like a video or a picture or two to get people excited about what youve got to say. In my opinion, it would make your blog come to life a little bit.
You lost me, friend. I mean, I imagine I get what youre expressing. I have an understanding of what you’re saying, but you just appear to have ignored that you will find some other individuals within the world who look at this matter for what it genuinely is and may perhaps not agree with you. You might be turning away many of individuals who may have been followers of your website.
