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.

Glenn,
Where have you been mate? At the pub? We featured Tring almost 2 1/2 years ago. Type Tring in the bloody search bar. You are right though about Tring. In fact, I don't think there is a "Natural History" type collection in the world, that is not bursting at the seam's with the most wondrous history imaginable. Even the taxidermist of today, with their fiberglass mounts, have to be impressed with what their counterparts were able to do hundreds of years ago with straw and cotton. Being able to look at extinct animals that we will never see live, makes every Natural History collection in the world housing them, as valuable as the Coronation Crown and Scepter.
Be safe,
Wade
