"Above them, in the bright blue sky, the angry roar of enemy planes returned. Bombs began to drop on Tokyo once more. Still clinging to the elephants, the zoo keepers raised their fists to the sky and implored, 'Stop the war! Stop the war! Stop all wars!'"
Earlier this year, we studied the toll that World War 2 took on the Tokyo zoo in the book Faithful Elephants. For fear that the zoo would be bombed, the animals set free and their people killed, zookeepers chose to put down their own animals. The author, Yukio Tsuchiya, clearly takes an anti-war stance. In a short paragraph, use at least three details and/ or from the story to support (agree with) or refute (disagree with) Tsuchiya's point of view. Posts are due by Friday, March 11.

i disagree and agree with tsuchiy's point because animals don't need to be lock in cages,and people should be able to look at animals and lerand them then how elsa would people learen what animals do and eat.
i agree with Tsuchiya's point of view.three reasons why. Becouse of the war all the zoo keepers had to kill all the animals in the zoo.Two poeple needed to learn that we should not have droped boems becouse the animals loved thier live like they liked the zoo keepers and other animals.three when they made the monument and told the poeople what happened then and what we did and they did wrong.
I agree and desagree with Tsuchiya's point of veiw because poeple don't need to do that to animals, also they don't need to be loocked up in cages. And I think you also need to let them go free because if they don't go free then they will be traped in there for ever. You will regret what you did because they ben there for you and you would want to keep them but you kill them any ways. I also think you should try and keep them alive because they love you as much as you love them.
I agree with the zoo keep that animals should be able to live even if the war is going on. they shouldn't have to die be starvation.

I do not agery with going against war because without war we will never prove how the dominite contrey will be. Will it be the U.S, or china, or even Karia, no one knows and we won't ever know without war.

FANTOM!
i gree with the author about putting down the animals because if they keep on putting animals in Tokyo,Japan when wars come around some of these animals will become exstinct.
I aregee with what he said
when it said that he had to put down the anmails because
it was for their own good.
so they whould have not die.
I agree animals should live and not die.

I agree with the man all war should stop because animals are dieing for nothing also mpeople can go out side when they konw there a where goin on. They also when they wont to go to the zoo they cant because all the animals are gone so there nothing to see.
Tasia C,
Idisagree because the animals didnt do anything wrong to any human theyre just like the humans in the world
I majorly disagree w/ him because he acts to emotional about wrinkaly, fat,and ugly animals (elephants).but I do agree sort of w/ him because some wars should stop though we wouldnt have america if it wasnt for the war. so I really cant choos but they shouldnt have put down my favorite animal(TIGERS!!!!!!)!!!
I agree with the tsuchiya's point even though the war is going on the should not have to starve. And be killed.
i agree with tsuchiyas point of view and they should be abel to live untill they die and be put down then
i agree with them on his point of view and animals should be put down when they die and be abel to live
I Disagree with the Auther Becuz they Should Just Send the Animals Some where Else So the Animals can LIVE!! and When the War is Over Just Leave the Animals where you brought them becuz the place they where at will be distoryed or how ever you spell it
i agree war is bad because if war was not bad then they would not have to kill all the amimals to make sure they did not get lose or get hurt during the bombs falling i think war is stupid and needs to stop
