OK. I hate zoos. I think that they are the most awful, sad, sick things... "Honey, let's take the kids to throw sticks at and taunt the monkeys who were captured as infants and raised in captivity. Look at that tiger pacing back and forth back and forth back and forth with that blank expression. Isn't that educational! I bet that's how they really act in nature -- whatever that is."

One day Mat pointed out to me that the zoo keepers studied very hard to be zoo keepers, and they probably love the animals more than I do. That is true... I have to admit. But the animals look so dejected and sad and crazy. And their habitats are so meager. It kills me. absolutely kills me that there are zoos. ANYWAY, yesterday we were outside at Cafe Abir, and I was reading the paper, and I saw this article called Uulu lands in clover / S.F. zoo moves polar bear to grassy new digs. I read it and cried my eyes out at Cafe Abir right there on the sidewalk. I am both happy and sad for the polar bear -- mostly happy I guess...

and very sad for the pigeons.
