On this photo is says, "some type of grain silo at Riverdale Farm." Growing up in North Dakota, I know what a grain silo looks like, and none of them have barred windows, or a roof like this. It kinda looks like an "owl tower/enclosure" that ancient castle menagerie zoo's used to have.
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.

Ghost Zoo--Riverdale Farm, Toronto Canada
On this photo is says, "some type of grain silo at Riverdale Farm." Growing up in North Dakota, I know what a grain silo looks like, and none of them have barred windows, or a roof like this. It kinda looks like an "owl tower/enclosure" that ancient castle menagerie zoo's used to have.
That's Donnybrook tower, it contained nothing other than a very tight, steep, circular staircase, leading to the observation deck which was screened in with chicken wire.
ReplyDeleteIt was the best place to view the entire zoo grounds. … if you were going to build a zoo using prisoners from the Don Jail, what would you expect this tower to be used for ?:I
