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 Zookeeper--Bronx 1954
Helen Delaney Martini, the Bronx Zoo's first female zookeeper raised 27 tiger cubs. Before Helen arrived, no tiger cubs had ever survived.
I was a young child when my parents brought me to the Bronx Zoo. I remember this woman in the cage with the "big cats". It is one of my most vivid memories of the zoo ! I only found her mentioned online now !
