RE: elephants
What's funny about my opinion of zoos is that I'm not that much of an animal
lover. I think, maybe, because Atlanta's zoo was just so bad that even
someone who otherwise wouldn't care that much would have found it
unacceptable. I just remember it not being that much fun to go to the zoo.

that when I was a kid, Atlanta had a terrible zoo with miserable conditions

renovated it back in the late 80's, I've never been. I don't like the
circus, either.

I dunno...I can honestly say that going to the Washington National Zoo here
in DC as a child was always a wonderful experience as a child. The Pandas
were awesome..lions and tigers..the monkey house stank. I would agree
somewhat with the assessment of them not being in their natural environment
and don't condone the mistreatment of animals...but Zoo's have always
represented something happy to me.
