The Tennoji Zoo in Osaka has been given a facelift over the past few years (it's still far from perfect, but quantam leaps better than it used to be), so here I was thinking that the new generation was beginning to smarten up a bit when it came to the treatment of animals in captivity. Guess I was wrong (mind you, it doesn't sound like the bear place is run by a new generation). <BR/><BR/>Hope you'll find the time to post more often.

I've basically stopped going to any "zoos" and most aquariums because of that kind of thing in Japan. <BR/><BR/>It's really sad that such a beautiful country allows such awful places to exist.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476943539943172099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137044632467935627.post-7309743513319921892008-10-15T15:01:00.000+09:002008-10-15T15:01:00.000+09:00The treatment of animals in Japan (from pet stores...The treatment of animals in Japan (from pet stores to being tied up outside) often bothers me, but this is a particularly horrible story. I hope nakayoshilife can get that group to go and help them!
