I always feel bad for caged animals, same with ones that are trained to do tricks for our amusement. On the other hand, if I had young kids at home I'd probably take them to the zoo. Love all the pics - looks like a good time! I’m very mixed on zoos myself now that I’m older. I always feel bad for caged animals, same with ones that are trained to do tricks for our amusement.

This was a good line of yours: "...I had not been to Staten Island’s kosher pizza shop in a long time and I did not feel like searching for it. Imagine, an entire borough with just one kosher pizzeria. Now that is galus." Baila, thanks for sharing. Venezuela sounds interesting. Sounds like you could have some good blog material from your trip. Even if it was a while back.

I once went to the zoo in Venezuela with my husband (it's where he was raised). I was sickened at how the animals were so neglected, and we left early because I couldn't take it anymore. At least most of the zoos I've been to in America (and the one in Jerusalem that we have visited) treat the animals as humanely as possible. Many of these zoos are involved in decreasing the extinction of many species, in the protection of their natural habitats around the world, and in educating their visitors about these issues. Modern zoos try to mimic these habitats so their animals are as comfortable as possible. But I know what you mean about seeing them behind cages. Wanna talk zoos.
