This was sent in by Marc Bekoff for Taylor Courtney Hobbs, an undergraduate at the University of Colorado, Boulder. As you will have guessed from the title of this post, it's kind of depressing. Before I started thinking really seriously about animal rights issues, it literally never even occurred to me that there might be something wrong with keeping wild animals confined in completely unnatural surroundings for people to gape and shout at all day, but once you start looking at it that way, a trip to the zoo feels more like a horrorshow than a fun family outing.
