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 can't believe Rose Tu is having calves.... I visited the Zoo not long after Rose Tu was born. Myself and Swain got the grand tour from Mr. Schmitt, which included a close call from the male elephant Hugo. Time flies...
You are welcomed Mary Ann. They have named the baby Samudra, or Sam for short. Samudra is Hindi for "lord of the ocean."
