Actually, my son is a history buff and has been talking about one of the trips you mentioned--going back east to see all of the early American historical sites (and of course, a stop in Washington, DC). But I love the idea of travel to Central/South America--I have friends in Peru who have been bugging me to visit for years now, and reading your experiences with your boys is inspiring me to want to make it happen!

]]> Comment on Zoo Politics: Which Side of the Fence Are You On? by Matt http://www.mombotv.com/2009/03/01/zoo-politics-which-side-of-the-fence-are-you-on/#comment-4373 Matt Sun, 07 Jun 2009 02:40:08 +0000 http://www.mombotv.com/?p=1249#comment-4373 Hi. I'm currently applying to a few zoo keeper jobs in various locations and stumbled upon this thread after googling "zoo politics" to get some general perspectives on the controversy. I have to generally agree with what's been said already. I too am mixed, but more pro-zoo (obviously)... I think it is important to highlight what Christy has said about most animals being captive-born. While living in their natural habitat would be ideal, it's not a realistic option for "orphaned" young, and if thrown back out into the wild, they would struggle, not thrive. I previously worked at an exotic cat wildlife refuge, the majority of the residents being tigers, and of the 120+ animals total, we had three that were not captive-born -- one bobcat, one bear, and one coyote. More often than not, the setups zoos and refuges provide for these animals is many times better for their wellbeing than if they were sitting in a cage in some breeders basement. The only other thing I have to add is that from my personal experiences, cats, in particular are big sleepers (up to 22 hours a day). Thus, when the lion doesn't roar (VERY rare) or stand up to inspect visitors, it actually suggests the animal's comfort is its surroundings. That is to say, the lion, and other animals in zoos, are privy to a very routine lifestyle. Thus, an animal that is up and pacing around madly or splashing about in a pool for long periods, etc, is the one to keep an eye on. Their metabolism cannot afford them the luxury of "having fun" all day; they must do a great deal of resting, so something is likely not right. I don't mean to talk down to the original poster though. Obviously if the lion is laying down and breathing hard with his eyes rolled back, their definitely IS concern enough to question its care. Lastly, in the big cats, old age seems to first affect rear legs mobility. We saw a lot of cats begin to have trouble standing or acting arthritic as they came into their later years. Your lion may have been adequately healthy, just an old man so to speak. Thank you for a thought-provoking post! Hi.
