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.

This is the “new” feline house that opened at Atlanta’s Grant Park Zoo in 1957.
It is a smaller duplicate of one built a few years earlier in Philadelphia. There were moated yards on either end. The one off to the right in this photo was for lions and that off the far end was for tigers.
There were small cages between the two entrances for leopard, jaguar, cheetah, and ocelot. We see their outdoor cages here. They would never pass muster today but were state of the art over a half century ago.
This building is now an off exhibit building for the gorillas at Zoo Atlanta. Some of the old barred indoor cat cages are still there as is at least one of the moated yards. Atlanta now holds 24 gorillas, the largest collection in America.
