I boycott zoos.

A friend kept a chameleon as a pet. It lived in an aquarium that didn't have water but did have a stick he snapped off a tree outside his dorm.

I had read that for a chameleon to come in contact with a human was/is a very stressful experience for the animal, and that the stress was/is such that chameleons kept as pets don't/won't live long.

So when I hung out in my friend's room, we got stoned and drunk and tortured a chameleon by forcing it to be near us.
