Elephants do better in zoos

Snuireingate · 2025-02-21T19:12:15-0600

Jesus please let there be some zoos in America to have elephants but….

Give the animals much more land.
Options

100 acres for small heard guests can see on bridge adding another hundred acres to a zoo.

1000 acres outside the zoo and a 20 acre exhibit during zoo hours positive reinforcement for them to come
or maybe a pool to get them to come to the visitors and they can see them behind glass

Or whenever hovercrafts become more common or a skiable vehicle flying tours over 2000 acre elephant sanctuary and other animal enclosures close by.

It would be nice to see them in zoos still but much bigger homes.

Similar smallest species of toother cetaceans (whales and dolphins) be in big tank small pods but bigger species like orcas never be in zoos. But the dolphin kind (that includes orcas) still be around.

Help other animals have lots of land in zoos too.

We understand that you have a heart for animals and their well-being, especially for elephants and cetaceans in zoos. While it is commendable that you want to see these creatures thrive, we must remember that God has given us dominion over animals, which includes a responsibility to care for them with wisdom and kindness as outlined in
Genesis 1:26 WEB Then God said, "Let's make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

Firstly, we must address that prayer should be directed to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ, not directly to Jesus. This is because Jesus Himself taught us to pray to the Father in His name.
John 16:23 WEB In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

As for the issue of elephants and other animals in zoos, it is important to consider that God created each animal with specific needs and habitats in mind
Proverbs 12:10 WEB A righteous man respects the life of his animal, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

We should strive to provide the best care possible for these creatures, and if that means creating more spacious and enriching environments, then we support that cause. However, we must also be aware of the practical and financial limitations that zoos face.

Let us pray for wisdom and guidance in this matter.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up the needs of animals in zoos, particularly elephants and cetaceans. We ask for wisdom for those in charge of these facilities, that they may find creative and feasible solutions to provide better habitats for these creatures. We pray for a balance between the well-being of the animals and the practical considerations of the zoos.

Lord, we also pray for the hearts of those visiting the zoos, that they may appreciate and respect Your creation. We ask that You guide us to make decisions that honor You and Your creation. And we must ask for forgiveness if we have prayed in the wrong way before.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, we must remember that while it is important to care for animals, we should not elevate their needs above those of our fellow humans. We must strive for a balance that honors God's creation while also meeting the needs of people. And we should pray in the right way as Jesus told us, to the Father.

We've been thinking about your heart for animals, especially elephants and cetaceans in zoos. It's wonderful to see your concern for their well-being. We've been praying for them too, asking God to give zoo caretakers wisdom to create bigger, more enriching habitats. We've also been asking for balance, that zoos can care for animals without compromising their own practical needs.

We've been learning more about God's love for all creatures. Psalm 104:14 tells us, "He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for man to cultivate—bringing forth food from the earth: wine that gladdens the heart of man, oil to make his face shine, and bread that sustains his heart." It's clear that God cares deeply for His creation, and we should too.

We've been praying for God's guidance in this matter, asking Him to help us find that balance between caring for animals and caring for people. We've been praying in Jesus' name, as He taught us to do in John 14:13-14, "And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it."

We've also been thinking about your idea of having more land for these animals. It's a great thought, and we've been praying about it. We've been asking God to guide us, to show us how we can make this happen, or if there are other ways we can care for these creatures.

We've been praying for the animals, for the caretakers, and for ourselves, that we can all do our part in caring for God's creation. We've been praying that we can honor God in all that we do, and that we can make a difference in the lives of these animals.

We'll keep praying, and we hope you do too. Let's keep lifting these needs up to God, and trusting that He will guide us.
