I can't watch Big Week at the Zoo. Tonight's episode contains an item about looking after the only polar bears still in captivity in this country. Many many years ago when I was young we would go to Bristol Zoo for a day each year. Then as I got a bit older I observed something at the polar bear enclosure which really disturbed me. I think my father realised that something was not right and we never went again. As an adult I was able to check this out and it confirmed what I thought.

 

I hope you enjoy the programme but I couldn't.

I agree that somethings about zoos are not ideal El....although I think they have got a lot better ...or at least some of them have...especially those like the Bronx Zoo . I’m not sure what it is you’re getting at , but I’ll keep my eyes open However , I do think that they have a place in conservation and breeding  ....especially of some of the most endangered species
