Why Am I Here?

Why Am I Here? - Los Angeles Zoo

Click the photo for a larger version. The music is here.

I grew up going to the Prospect Park Zoo in Brooklyn, the Central Park Zoo and what has been a model for zoos around the world, The Bronx Zoo. I was shocked at my first visit to the L.A. Zoo. How does one of the largest cities in the world not have a first rate zoo? Boggles my mind…

Try as they might, they just can’t get it right in L.A. Many years ago, they promised us a world class zoo. We paid extra taxes. We paid higher admission rates. I took my kids often. Now they’re grown and the zoo there is still crap.

That gorilla looks pretty sad. :(

But it’s a good, expressive shot. :)

Great head shot Ron, hard to believe a city the size of L.A. has such a crappy zoo !!

Nice comment. They will have a first rate zoo someday. But they have to teach all the animals to drive first.

When I was about 6 years old we went to a zoo and I watched a tiger pee on a lady in a fur coat – funny that is the only thing I remember about the vist. I have not been to a zoo since, and by the look on the face of this sweet girl/boy I can only say I am glad.

((Love the new blog look Ron!))
