'You sure have to give the Casselly's credit for working hard to "change it up/make something different" to present to the public. The vast majority of acts you look at today will be the exact same 15 years later, and we wonder why the public has grown weary of animal acts?? The "foot care" demonstration was very strange and very out of place and inappropriate. I wonder if it was Rene's idea or some nitwit publicist from Monte Carlo wanting a "don't we love our animals" segment in the show. I don't understand why we feel we have to alibi before we even start.'

Casselly Family Elephants
Monkey Islands
San Diego Zoo
Audubon Zoo
Jackson Zoo
No zoo exhibit has had the diversity of styles and types then the "monkey island." The tastes and standards have ranged from castles, city halls, log cabins, light houses, villages, boats, and jungle jims with slides and trapeze's, to piles of rubble. Historically these "monkey amusement parks" have been one of the most popular exhibits with the public, particularly children. I know I found them highly entertaining. Amazingly as they became politically incorrect, in an effort at "naturalistic" many of these historic castles and boats have been demolished or abandoned and replaced with Indian temples and temple ruins!!!!!! Go figure........
