For "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise" ![]() Prompt: If you had the chance, would you spend the day at the zoo with baby pandas? --- I love zoos. I would definitely spend a day at the zoo, possibly not only with baby pandas either. Talking about pandas, I like it when the zoos let the animals live in a habitat as close to nature as they can emulate. I think Smithsonian Zoo is trying to do that with the pandas. When I was a young child, I was taken to a zoo and watched three angry lions walk growling around a cage. The cage, probably as large as a living room, smelled terribly and even as a child, I began crying for the cruelty that the zoo inflicted on those beautiful animals. I don’t think we humans have a right to do that. I understand that sometimes we need to keep species of animals who are about to become extinct in order to save them, but still, the grounds they are kept in should be ample enough and as close as possible to their natural habitats. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For: "Space Blog" ![]() Prompt: From Thaddeus Buxton Winthrop ![]() ![]() ![]() --- Good poem except I didn’t get the phrase "emerald rainbows."
