~~~~~WILD ANIMALS IN CAPTIVITY~~~~~

~~~

ALTHOUGH I AM CONFLICTED BY THE KEEPING OF WILD ANIMALS IN CAPTIVITY FOR THE PLEASURE OF HUMAN BEINGS, I AM ONE OF THOSE HUMANS WHO WOULD NEVER HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY OF SEEING MANY OF THESE ANIMALS IF THEY WERE NOT IN CAPTIVITY.  SO...WHILE I TRAVELED ACROSS THE COUNTRY ON MY JOB, I STOPPED IN MANY ZOOS AND OTHER ATTRACTIONS WHICH ALLOWED ME TO SEE THESE PRECIOUS ANIMALS.

I MUST SAY THAT ALL THE ANIMALS I VISITED, WERE WELL CARED FOR AND KEPT SAFE FROM NATURAL PREDATORS

THESE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITES!
