I've wanted to go for a while, but haven't found any time to make the trip. I don't have any favorite animals, they're all awesome.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03740311370003572588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061870849031468581.post-49729893835981198552013-06-06T18:47:20.880-04:002013-06-06T18:47:20.880-04:00YES!

Almost nobody is there, but you'd be amazed at how many animals are still out. I go regularly to the Milwaukee zoo and have also been to the San Diego zoo and to a couple zoos in Chicago. (and Texas when I was a kid). Seeing the cheetahs makes me sad too and I refuse to look at any monkeys or apes (they make me uncomfortable, but I love the bears and sea lions. One thing I do re. animals is when I hire animal "performers" for the library, I always make sure they have a valid reason for having exotic animals - rehabilitation, education, etc. not just entertainment.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096787155616041727noreply@blogger.com
