Rare animals to see;
that's the bait that draws me.

The zoo is amazing;
I spend hours just gazing.

And my heart skips a beat;
as oohs and aahs compete.

But a cage isn't home;
for creatures born to roam.

Great message Emile but sadly with so many animals being killed by man, its the only place some animals can survive. congrats on your win:-) hugs Jan xx

Thanks, Jan, for a species to survive, it needs to be in its natural environment; otherwise, it is merely being kept alive for our benefit, not theirs. As always, I appreciate your comments, my friend, Emile.

Zoos used to be dreadful for the animals. So many improvements have been made over the years. Still... Congratulations on your win Emile my friend! :)

Hello Emile, Yes I agree the animals should not be in cages. They should have and an area to roam around on the zoo land. My friend, enjoy your day. |Darlene\
