ZooFor right now these are pictures at just the Reid Park Zoo in Tucson, AZ, where I have a membership. I realize it's not politically correct to keep animals captive and it does sadden me to see them unable to roam free, but this is also the only way most people will ever see these animals and realize what environmentalists are trying to save. It's also the only way some animals will be saved. It's not the best solution but I don't see any other way. Besides, being, like all human animals, a bit selfish, it's the only way I will ever get to see these animals as I don't have, and probably never will have to money to go on safari. I am glad that zoos are getting away from the terrible little cages and giving the animals more realistic enclosures. ©Rachel Aschmann 2001. Contents may not be reproduced without permission. |
