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.

Ghost Zoo--Jungle Land, Thousand Oaks, Calif.
The Tyndall brothers guide one of Louis Goebel's camels over to the Conejo School to be part of the Christmas pageant in the 1940s
For more Jungle Land memories type Jungle Land Thousand Oaks in the search bar at the top left of the blog.
Enjoyed seeing these photos of Jungleland. It's a place midwestern boys could only imagine. By the time I got out to the West Coast it was gone. Jules Jacot was working there when Geo. Vierheller sent chimp trainer Mike Kostial out to retrieve him to return to St. Louis. Also the eight baby elephants where trained out there in the winter of 1954-55 before they debuted in STL in 55.
