Neko Case has a soft spot for animals, clearly made evident by her recent campaign with ANTI-Records to donate $5 to Best Friends Animal Society for each blog that posts the mp3 for her latest single, "People Got A Lotta Nerve."


In a recent interview with Spinner, the singer songwriter is speaking out again on behalf of animals - this time concentrating on zoos, stating it is a "sad way to teach kids about animals." She also had a few not-so-nice words to say about PETA.

    “Those stories are so depressing,” she told Spinner. “And the animal is always the one who gets murdered at the end. I don’t know why people act so shocked. You got in the cage with the tiger, you were harassing it and then it f—ing killed you. It’s a f—ing tiger. What the f— were you thinking?”

    “Then they shoot the tiger. That’s hardly fair. It’s a large predator. Or killer whales in zoos — those things are supposed to swim 200 miles a day. It’s like having a teenager and saying, ‘OK, I’m gonna feed and clothe you, but you have to live in this refrigerator.’ People say [zoos] are for the children, but why would you want your children to see sad, crazy animals?”

When Michael Vick was investigated for leading dog fights, Case was pleased to see who came to the rescue:

    “Best Friends took the Michael Vick dogs,” Case mentioned. “That’s a big deal because a lot of supposed animal welfare organizations like PETA — who can blow me — said you should euthanize the dogs immediately. But it’s not the dogs’ fault that they were fighting dogs — they’ve been abused. Pit bulls are muscular and big, but they’re not man-eaters.”

Do you agree with Case's point of view?

To check out her single and add it to your blog (thus providing a $5 donation to Best Friends), read our last blog about Neko Case.

I agree with her. Although I think zoos are decent ways for children to learn about the species out there, I think that they could involve more education in the zoos. Don't just put them behind a class wall, educate the children. And PETA is ridiculous. They are malicious, ignorant people. I cannot stand the organization, even though I am all for animal rights.

the thing about zoos is that for some animals they have to natural habitat anymore. I hate seeing animals in such small places, but at least the zoos care about them. My local zoo just got a ton of funding to pretty much re-do the entire thing because it's been around since the 50's and is outdated. They want to do what they can for the animals they have.

this is what i think its stupid humans fault that they train and abuse thes dogs this way in the first place and in the end the dogs have to be euthinized and i agree with that its still the stupid humans fault but the dog has only know to fight all his life and relates to fighting as good
but i completely agree with the tiger quote humans are stupid it wasnt the tigers fault yet it still dies
its also like tyke an elephant who was in the circus and got out and the cops had shoot him with like who know how many bullets before she finally died
humans are to stupid to see that these animals are trying to tell us something

I hate PETA, they really get on my nerves with their attitude towards people in general, but I don't know much about peta2. Neko seems like a pretty real person, with pretty real views. While I'm not 100% with her on the zoo deal, I think shes got her heart in the right place.

POSTED 3 YEARS AGO

I kinda agree, but the end result is as humans, we have domesticated animals. We are a lazy race for the most part and never want to assume responsibility for our actions. Animals are what they are because of our actions...not their own. So we must respect that and treat them with every ounce of compassion and go the extra mile since they lack the ability to do this on their own.

See i eat meat okay im not a vegetarian or vegan but i do respect all of you guys PETA is wrong and alot of you go right into "Oh i know everything about peta when you really dont by the way they kill animals if they have been in a shelter to long and peta try's to back themselves up when they have nothing to back it up with they are hypocrites and i despise peta I think animals should have rights I dont think at all ONE BIT they should be abused I eat meat because human rules over animal it says in the bible if It didnt I would be a vegetarian.
This is crazy humans are dumb and they should not kill the tiger becasue some dumb @$$ human was being stupid the tiger was just doing its natural instinct .
PETAS DUMB!!

I completely agree with her. I'm a big fan of pit bulls & know that they have an undeserved bad reputation. PeTA is a horrible organization, whose president euthanizes thousands of animals herself. She is also anti-pit bull because she was supposedly bitten by one as a child. Not to mention, HSUS was also for putting down the Michael Vick dogs. I love Best Friends Animal Society & have follwed up on the wonderful progress they have made with these beautiful dogs!

Its sad Micheal Vick is such a coward, he raised these precious animals to kill and be killed. It is wrong. All these dogs know now honestly is to fight. We dont need to kill them, but Id be cautious when handeling the dogs. Im not quite sure that they can be re-conditioned. Anywho, I think we should get advice on this subject from an actual animal expert, who deals with animals of these situations, of course in a human way.

Hey I agree about how the animals are the ones getting killed, but zoos actually care about the animals and not all are extremely tiny. They're quite lucky if you think about it, they dont have to worry about any predators and they get fed everyday. Most of them were born in captivity anyways, its safer for them in the zoos.

I agree to an extent. I mean there are animals in zoos that can no longer be found in the wild. Going to the Zoo is regular nt occurence in my family and we love animals around here. I mean we should all do our part and conserve energy and stand against habitat loss and poaching, but when it come s down to it zoos are here to stay. Also PETA has their moments.....Sometimes they miss the mark.
