Three weeks ago we went to Madrid and now I do not agree on many things but small things that seem insignificant but are important to me. This trip was a lot of time with which I met a lot of it, and it was a different trip. I remember especially the day we went to Bilbao in the first place we hit the town much as we liked and what we expect their buildings, the people ...

Second went to the Guggenheim Museum. I loved the presentations they had, I suppose that the guide made the visit that we liked more.

At night we go out partying the whole class. It was very strange because I had never been on a journey with these people because the people who ido before other sites were different. But I like to provide new experiences with different people. I think this a worthwhile trip as we take the time to go to museums and cultural visits and also had a lot of free time to learn new things.

Are or zoos cruel to wild animals? Opinion

I don't agree with zoos, because I doesn't seem as though his philosophy is becoming a cruelty.

First I think that the zoos are cruel to wild animals, because I think that an animal must be free. 

I believe that all animals don't receive suitable conditions.

I think it's an economic benefit to the zoo a beneficial tourism and I believe the state has to put restraint.

To sum up, I am very concernid and very envolved in animal rights and I am pessimistic about the future of the animals.
