A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

Wade, this snow leopard exhibit is incredibly beautiful, spacious, and natural, unlike anything that I have ever seen for a snow leopard, and you know that we go to a lot of different zoos. I'm sure that you have noted the animal contentedly sleeping in the first picture, and how well it is camouflaged.

Mary Ann,
The brilliance of any modern exhibit is to illustrate why an animal is the color or coat pattern it is. The day of "educating" the public with stark barren cages is over. It speaks nothing to the world in which the animal came from.
When people tell me a tiger is so beautiful with it's striped coat, I point out the beauty of that coat, is when you can't see it, when the animal is hiding in a shadow world of trees and tall grasses and it becomes invisible. When they would assume that the white tigers were Siberian and came from a snow covered environment and it would be easy for them to camouflage themselves, I just had to point out, "about as easy as a golf ball on a green.
