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.

For Jim Alexander--Sea Lion performance building at Antwerp Zoo
There is an underwater viewing area underneath the grandstands.
I visited Antwerp in 1989 when they had an indoor dolphin exhibit. The dolphins seemed to do well, even some reproduction, but it was small. Even back then there was talk of getting out of the dolphin business. Maybe they remodelled the facility and changed over to sea lions. They did the same thing at the New England Aquarium.
