All zoos actually offer to the public in return for the taxes spent upon them is a form of idle and witless amusement, compared to which a visit to a penitentiary, or even to a State legislature in session, is informing, stimulating and ennobling.

all afternoon Their witless offspring flock like piped rats to its siren...

Ephesians 5:15:
Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise
(NIV)
Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people),
(AMP)
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
(KJV)
