Zoo's suck!

My woman and I went to the zoo today. All of the animals looked sad. 
1/2 of the animals weren't even in their cages.
For some reason many of the cages had barbie dolls and other kid toys in them?!?! These were cages that no one could throw things into...
The Salt Lake City zoo sucks!

I like zoo's and hate them at the same time.... just wish I could go to the animals habitat instead of the other way around.

You could go to the animals' habitat, it would just be expensive 
There are places that are essentially animals in a suitable habitat, but visible to humans. A good example of that is the San Diego Wild Animal Park (note that it is separate from the zoo). It is essentially a very large crater-like formation. Around the outside of the crater there is a tram track. Visitors ride the tram to watch the animals down below, most of whom are intermingled with each other in very large, spacious enclosures designed to imitate their natural surroundings. You don't get to see the animals up close, but the animals are a lot happier and healthier, and you can see them interact fairly naturally.
The local wildlife has been known to show up occasionally too. When I rode the tram we had to sit and wait around because a mule deer decided to stand around on the tracks eating grass.

I took my kids to the zoo not too long ago and it was depressing.
The habitats are way too small. I love elephants but they didn't have enough room so they just paced back and forth. It was really sad.

Something about seeing animals improperly cared for makes me feel sad for them.

Going to the zoo this time of year in anywhere where it gets cold isn't a good idea. Half the animals aren't as active as they are in the summer and spring. Maybe this is why half the animals weren't even in their cages. They were in the back hibernating or something.

I can't wait until we have zoos for humans. When the animals lock us up in a tiny cage and they all come and gawk and take pictures.

Last time I went to the zoo it was really depressing. The animals barely had room to walk around and were just being yelled at by people all day. "HEY LION, DO SOMETHING LION!!!! LOOK OVER HERE!!! LOOK AT ME!! MOOOOOOVE!!". Not to mention the fact that the riffraff found endless entertainment in watching the animals defecate. I just don't get it.
Zoos are so bogus.

Well, i can understand the defecation fascination... especially monkeys who fling it at the people. A little revenge for the imprisoned.
