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.

I visited Catskill Game Farm one time I think in the early 80s. Only had a letter of introduction from Charlie Hoessle to get in but had never met Mr. Lindeman. I went up to the ticket booth and the lady said go talk to the guy in the golf cart - it was Mr. Lindeman. He took us around then dropped us off so we could leisurely see the collection. He met us for lunch then took us to his house for a drink and a tour of some of his art collection. What an experience. A great collection of hoof stock and a fine gentleman.
Jim,
He and his son in law Jurgen Schultz were indeed modern day "Hagenbecks." Przewalski's Horses, Tarpan, and Ankole were just a few of the species that you went straight to Catskill to get.

I visited the Catskill Game Farm every year from the late 80's to the time it closed in 2006. I my view there was no better zoo than the Game Farm. I also have an large collection of postcards from the Game Farm. I can't believe it's gone.
