Lions and Tigers and Bears

My darling sister called last night and asked if I wanted to go to the zoo when I go to visit her next month.

I had to turn her down because zoos depress me. I feel sorry for the animals being enclosed with people gawking at them. Most of them probably grew up in captivity and don't know any better, but I still feel for them.

However, I love aquariums. I guess I don't anthropomorphize jellyfish like I do lions.

Anyhow, she then suggested the omniplex. Now, I realize that the omniplex is for kids and is a popular destination for field trips...but you get to play with stuff. I love it so.
