Like you, I find that seeing animals enclosed now really seems to bother me. I imagine if animals could actually carry on conversations with us, we'd find out how they really feel about a lot of things.

I like the concepts they have shown which remind me of sailing and I love The dandelions in blue. I like everyone zoos for lol the good they now do. The older zoos where the animals don’t have much room should be given the money to build them up or they should be closed but the zoos like Toronto, San Diego etc...educate the people about the animals. They help people understand the importance of the beautiful creatures plus they are often the only means for these animals to survive. The small zoos like the jerk who was thrown in jail shou”d be closed but I am all for these nice ones.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681493665397789843.post-65090547844066192412021-07-28T07:27:56.357-04:002021-07-28T07:27:56.357-04:00Congrats to your daughter and shame they had to Zo...Congrats to your daughter and shame they had to Zoom it.<br /><br />I love the show Crikey!

...Gorgeous work! You have such a talented family :)<br />My first job was at a zoo. I hated seeing some of the animals kept like they were, like the bears, elephants, and big cats. They have made huge improvements over the years and now we need to protect certain species, but still I prefer seeing animals in the wild. Zoos have made some effort to offer that environment but at the least it educates people about animals and their world. I love being near the animals, but I might have a free Willy moment too. <br />D.L.
