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.

The three bear moated exhibits were built in the 1930s. The four bear cages (pits) I think go back to the 1900s. Parts of the old bear pits where remodelled into lemur exhibits about 1990.
Jim,
Cincinnati has always done an incredible job of preserving the old and modernizing it, but oddly I have been hearing "mixed" review's of their elephant exhibit. It has to be tough to "redesign" an existing historic building when you can't make it bigger or tear part of it down to start over. Regardless, nothing of the old should be torn down unless it is a nondescript wooden shed in the middle of a hog wire pen. Then photograph it and burn it, if necessary; but the buildings and moated exhibit's which gave a zoo it's "signature" or personality need to be retained at all cost's.
