Elephants & giraffes beyond anything. I haven't been to a zoo for many years, although I watch on TV & nature progs. Even in the best, the amount of space allowed does worry me...

I agree but if you went to Jersey Zoo its emphasis is conservation . Sadly we hunt and ruin habitat . I feel we owe it to rare species to keep numbers up . We caused their fate initially and only we can resolve this .

Really agree. The Oakland (Ca) zoo is very much involved with conservation. Fought to keep elephants out of circuses & such. You can tell they deeply care.

Well all baby animals are cute, but, I think the adults are amazing, the elephants all rally to look after the baby ones & keep them all safe, love the adult silverback gorillas, they are so big but so gentle, unless in aggressive mode, then look out! But the adults win I think in my estimation of them, so caring , beautiful souls 🦍🐘

Elephants have always had a special place in my heart. There is this orphan baby elephant sanctuary I want to visit in Kenya one day, God willingly.

I always have mixed emotions when visiting a zoo . I like that zoos provide an opportunity to see animals that otherwise I wouldnt see but I dislike that they're not in their natural habitat and free.

Myself! now seemingly in permanent semi isolation, had my 2jabs, but now lack of PIP, I cannot afford to go ANYWHERE, just like being in a zoo! 😗🙄😤🥱

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004 in reply toAdlon57

Yes, isolation is not always easy for anyone, but it’s to help us stay safe, happy and healthy as much as possible until COVID is controlled or permanently gone for good.

Adlon57 profile image
Adlon57 in reply toActivity2004

No, I have had my 2jabs, I am medically if I could, able to travel outside, but living at such a bare financial minimum, my PIP benefit by "all those who after us all🙄" altering their own goalposts, I was able to "survive🤪" just because I could not go out, but in February my PIP was cut, so essentially now I am in my own "Zoo", living by myself [with claustrophobia!], actually now my health has now worsened to such an extent, my GP agreed I should now be getting it, but it will mean I will have to start a NEW application for it no matter what happens! [Earliest 9 months?] I never liked Zoo's, never agreed poor animals being caged up, but now I am surviving in one cage, at present first hand, never mind COVID! [from March 2020 to March 2022???]Just?🥴😵😗😗🤬

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004 in reply toAdlon57

I understand completely what you mean. It sometimes feels like that here in my house because I have to be extremely careful with where I can go. Having pre-existing conditions means hopefully no one I see in person will still have to get both doses done. You can always talk to me anytime.

Adlon57 profile image
Adlon57 in reply toActivity2004

I see the misunderstanding, PIP is a sickness benefit [not available in USA] I cannot afford even to go out ANYWHERE, okay in these COVID times it does not help, but nobody can visit me at these times. I am living in Northern Ireland, I had the PIP benefit until Feb. 2021, when they in their wisdom, stopped giving me it, I am in isolation, registered disabled, although had my 2 jabs 27th April. [first 9th Feb. I was in the 2nd phase of injections, the extremely vulnerable] So I am worse off financially and now physically [due to effects on my health actually being in isolation] than when I was when I first started isolation in March 2020! Having claustrophobia as being one of my numerous medical conditions, I, like the beings in a Zoo would REALLY prefer being outside my cage/home!🥴
