faces at the zoo

Zoo. Prison or preserve?

Our responsibility to protect wildlife? Our desire to control, classify, incarcerate?

Roaring, railing, roaming, ranging. Restrained by railings and ramparts?

Animals looking out, humans looking in? The reverse?

Need we do this? If not, would we suffer, would our knowledge of the world be diminished?

Animals. Are we any better?

    So sad to see they’re still using electrified lines to shock animals into their imposed borders (lion shot) :(

    I am not so happy with animals behind bars, but they have a mission too. And nice photos. Especially the owl!
