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.

Indian Boundary Park--Chicago, Illinois
This is new's to me. Apparently there was or is a small zoo at the Indian Boundary Park in Chicago, Illinois. Does anyone know more about it? Was it private, or city. How long was it there?
Jim, Thank you. I have never heard of it, or a mention of it in any of the dozens of books that I have read on Zoo History. That is odd that it would be so forgotten. Or maybe it was so bad, they are pretending like it never existed so that it does not have to be addressed. That is a good way to become a "soft target." LOL Wade

It was a small Park District Zoo still in operation in the early 1960s. Never saw it, just heard keepers talk about it.
