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.

Staten Island Zoo post World War II under the direction of Carl Kauffeld was one of the first parks to give reptiles and amphibians equal billing with birds and mammals, and to begin to display insects. By the 1970's the zoo was well on the way to phasing out large mammals, creating innovative displays for smaller mammals, and concentrating in the herpetology department on native species. The explosion in successful captive reproduction in herps in the late 1970s -- now an "industry" owes much to husbandry protocols pioneered at Staten Island and refined in Dallas and Seattle.
