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.

Vintage Central Park Zoo
Pete, who was born in the Central Park Zoo in 1903, celebrates his 44th birthday at the Bronx Zoo with keeper John Wendlang July 12, 1947.
That is not Bronx Zoo. Must be Central Park. Pete was the Bronx's only common hip from the time of his arrival in 1906 until his death in 1953. This card shows two hippos.
Central Park zoo was the first in USA to breed hiopos in large numbers.
