Zoos are nothing put prisons for animals. That these wonderful creatures have the courage to breed in this kind of captivity shows their resiliance, but doesn’t diminish the thoroughly exploitive nature of the environment or the people that run and patronize these horrible places.

Every one of these moms would be even better moms in the wild where they belong.

The only worse animal exploitation venue in Atlanta is the GA Aquarium.

If your kids want to see animals in the wild, buy a DVD, check out the Discovery Channel, or go to the internet (or go on an ECO safari somewhere).

Not everyone can nurse a baby and not every baby can nurse. My son was a little premature, any he was very tiny. I tried and tried but he never learned to latch on. On top of that my milk didn’t come down for several days, which can happen for premature births. Even with pumping, he just wasn’t getting enough to eat. It was either give him a bottle or let him starve.

CJ, Dr. Sears is a MAN. What the hell does he know about nursing a baby? It’s a lot of work, and some babies just don’t take to it, causing hours of frustration for mom and baby alike. I nursed my first baby for about six months — teeth came in, and the Dairy Queen closed forthwith! The second baby, although she slept through the night at five days old, was a very fussy nurser, and we fought for three months before I finally said — “Ok, you win”. It was not worth my getting uptight and frustrated. So, an early lesson learned: Pick your battles. :-)

CJ your not a bad mom. My Pediatrician said “Will nursing your baby get them into Harvard? NO. Will get get them Valedictorian? NO. Will get them head cheerleader or captain of the football team? NO. Will get them CEO of a Fortune 500? NO.” What is imporant is that the baby is healthy, cared for, and nurished in ALL ways (social, emotional, physical ect).

According to the Ped (and she is a lactation specialist) nursing has shown some antibodies of the mother helping the baby for a short term (3 months). She also said that the closeness and need build a dependency in the baby that sets up the bond of mother to child.

I sat with both my babies and cooed, sang (feel bad for my voice is horrible) etc while they fed from a bottle. I held them where the could hear my heart as they went to sleep. When my babies cried, Mommy showed up….I give them my love and support everyday….

One of them is showing great promise on the Soccer Field…..but I doubt it was the formula ;o)

Re: “Star Trek”; I’m not sure how much an under-13 would relate to the movie. It’s a fun romp for those of us who grew up on “Star Trek”, and it’s hard for me to divorce my own familiarity with the material and look at the movie as just another sci-fi movie. There is some violence, but nothing hideous. Some heavy “making out”, but no nudity. Basically, nothing much worse than they would find on the Disney Channel. People die, but you don’t see the blood-spattering gore of so many movies these days. Very little blood, in fact, except for the beginning when Kirk gets beat up in a bar brawl, and then there’s a bloody nose and cut-up mouth. If someone didn’t know the emotional history of Vulcans, the backstory on Spock may not make much sense. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, but my 20-year-old son was only mildly entertained — and even then, more entertained by my reaction than by the movie, itself! The older movie-goers would chuckle at the references to the series that went right over the younger viewers. I agree with jct — mature 10 or 11 year olds only, younger than that, and it’s a waste of money.

I have to admit, though, I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to connect the new “Star Trek” to the series and the movies that I know. Maybe a new, younger viewer would be more able to take it at face value. I am still annoyed at the relationship that seemed forced on Spock and Uhura, and walked out of the theatre thinking, “But she (undefined here, for purpose of spoilers) couldn’t die, she showed up in the series later!” And it’s work trying to sort out what we HAD known of Spock’s relationship with his parents to what the new movie now purports to put forward as their re-tooled relationship. It redefines Spock quite a bit.

I am not much for the zoo either. However, I do like national geographic specials and animal planet showing animals in their more natural environment. I like to see how different species raise their young.

On the off topic, I saw Star Trek twice this weekend. The movie is not for small children. Even though it is mostly fantasy violence, very mild sexual situations it is solid PG-13 rating. I would bring a more mature 10 or 11 who can follow quick plots changes but this movie moves really quick. You may want to review on DVD before letting your children see this movie.

I don’t like the zoo either, and don’t get me started on birds that are in cages…….I hate going to the pet stores. I want to open the cages and let them fly!!!!!

I want to release the lobsters at the grocery stores too. I can’t stand to see them in that tiny tank, with their claws taped……
