So sad. I remember visiting London Zoo and seeing the rhinos with skin diseases, and looking so down that hardly recognise them. I went there because I missed Africa, but with that experience I decided that would prefer not to see them and I stopped visiting Zoos. In fact that was my first and last experience of a zoo for a long while. A couple of years back I visited Dublin Zoo on a school trip and the experience was much better than 30 years ago in London, but yes leave them in their natural habitat. And protect their habitat. I think it is more the case of people's minds is it not? If we had in our culture respect for all life that would not be necessary. As for the corporations, who came up with the idea? and who approved it? It is a crazy, crazy world.
