Love that tree with its bicycle wheel glasses, great fun! I agree with you about the caged big cats, their pacing makes me realise how unhappy they must be to live in a confined space. The tigers in London Zoo used to pace, now they have a large new (much publicised) enclosure - and I haven't been able to spot even one tiger in there!

Here in Florida they just opened an elephant preserve in Fellsmere, I don't think it's open to the public yet, but we are moving in the right direction. Personally I detest circus. I don't agree with animals being kept and made to perform.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14873738272799176944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-24346478909488512242013-07-13T16:44:52.736+01:002013-07-13T16:44:52.736+01:00I really have mixed feelings about zoos especially...I really have mixed feelings about zoos especially when animals like the leopard seem unhappy - was that in a smaller enclosure than the lions? There was a great thing made around these parts when a local wildlife park brought some lions across from a zoo in Romania where they were kept in appalling conditions. We haven't visited it yet but it does look as though life has improved dramatically for these animals.<br /><br />By the way that penguin picture almost looks like a piece of art work!Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.com
