Yes, but I imagine if they did it the proper way it would take up too much time and space that could be allocated to more relevant aspects of the game so we probably won't see it. Also, why the f*ck would you want a zoo where the animals weren't killable? Sounds pretty gay, should we restrict gun use in strip clubs too so that we can only observe and appreciate the strippers?

[Slamman]

You don't want them to be "killable" since PETA will have a FIELD DAY and declare OPEN SEASON on GTA!!

[matajuegos]

jeez, I read : Los Santos Zee

[Gregers08]

All animals in GTAV will be killable, they can't go back after RDR. Sure PETA will go crazy but that kind of controversy is what made GTA as infamous and popular as it is today, the two things we will never be able to do in GTA however is killing children and committing rape.

The one thing I strangely want to see is how euphoria would work if we ran over something like a horse at full speed, not because I hate horses just because it would be interesting to see how the physics would work in that situation.

There's two reasons why that comparison is off:
*RDR was based in a different time period in which killing wild animals was much more widely accepted.
*GTA is one of the most popular gaming series of all time. Anything controversial within the game will be put under scrutiny to a much greater extent than RDR.

You could shoot birds in prior GTAs, so yeah, I guess they won't really give a f*** as usual! haha

Sure RDR was set in a different time but it was still possible to kill domestic animals like dogs hell the fact that you could skin animals would be worse than anything GTA will probably do related to animals. As for controversy I already said there would be a ton however it wouldn't be a new GTA without some sort of controversy and to be honest the fact that we can kill people in many gruesome ways in past GTA's and everyone is fine with it while killing animals may cause a potential uproar seems kind of backwards to me.

It will be fine the people that complain about it will settle down after time just like all the other people who complained about previous controversies in previous GTAs did.

A large portion of our society appears to value the life of domestic animals more than humans. It's sad, but I believe it's true.

True, those people should go live with a pack of Lions and see if they have the same compassion.

Yeah, I agree.

By the way, I don't mean to offend anyone by agreeing with that statement. But I think the lack of respect for certain aspects of human life is astonishing sometimes.

It should be like the Vice City golf course; your weapons get taken away/off the premises when you enter.

Then what's the purpose? Shouldn't the same go for strip clubs?

[Sborges91]

If there was a zoo (which I think would be a good idea), I would love a mission inspired by the movie GoodFellas. Feed someone to the lions if they don't talk.

[timdehaas]

If they care about a rat in BF3, how will they react about a killable zoo.

[DeafMetal]

I wanna ride a giraffe.

Also: Not many educated people take PETA seriously, they're a joke.

[Slamman]

It's a good idea, take a heli to the zoo! I just hope for a working amusement park, it's one of those major let-downs in GTA IV, a vacant useless amusement park!??

[grope_4_that_date]

I'm all for a zoo! I've been stressing this since the trailer, because there are so many opportunities! It's never been done before, and now is the time to do it.

What about the Griffith Park Zoo Runs?

Here were my ideas:

QUOTE

Boss: "Wayne Knight", an unbalanced, nerdy zookeeper at the Los Santos Zoo. Alan has good intentions, but his actions and motives would certainly be called illegal. His obsessive love for animals will inevitably lead to his demise. Mission Ideas: • Help Alan capture two escaped polar bears within the zoo. (mission at night) Alan would make a mistake and ask for Ned's help. The mission would be very eerie. Alan and Ned would have flashlights and tranquilizer guns. The polar bears are dangerous and attack. • Steal a van (transporting two white tiger to Los Venturas) and deliver it to a local buyer. Alan's motive is the tigers are beautiful creatures and don't deserve to be exploited by the entertainment industry, ironically he's selling them to another zookeeper in San Fierro. • Chase and tranquilize two gorillas that has escaped into the city. This would be the most iconic GTA mission in the game. The gorilla would be fast and dangerous, mauling multiple civilians and causing destruction. Rockstar could set this up two ways, Alan could be the pilot of a helicopter and you're the sniper or Alan could be the driver of the car and you're standing outside the sunroof. • Kidnap and transport two 'endangered species' owls from the LS Zoo and set them free into the wilderness. ( while escaping a three star wanted level.)

[Slamman]

Right on, I don't think it's that far fetched, only problem thinking of RDR and GTA together is one is San Diego (ZOO??) the other is Rockstar North on the other side of the ocean and the States!

[StellarFish20]

A zoo would be a nice little bonus I think, but I wouldn't change the game... Just one of them little details.
