Caged animals make me shiver, but then I think of my friend Blue Boy and his friends in our aquarium and they seem happy probably because they only have a 3 second memory.

I'd much rather be able to see animals in their natural habitats and hate the idea of caging any animal no matter how big the enclosure. Though, without zoos I'm sure we'd soon end up without many beautiful species so I can't bring myself to hate them.

I'm your "other" girl. Why? two reasons really. First is that I've never been to a full scale zoo so I can't say for sure what my favorite exhibit is! Secondly, I don't think I can choose, even after going to one or one hundred zoos.
