Living the dream

Yesterday I went with friends and Tin to the Zoo. We’re blessed here in New Orleans to have one of the most premier zoos in the world. There was a while there where I couldn’t fathom zoos – the animals in cages sort of broke my heart. But yesterday with Tin seeing an elephant and a giraffe and monkeys and a zebra and sea lions all for the first time, not to mention the peacock that kept gliding by, I just saw the brilliance of teaching children about animals and the world.

I wondered though how is that giraffes and elephants and zebras don’t need breeders to keep being beautiful and the peacock, no one is culling the herd or breeding them to be so awesome. Why is that people insist on breeding dogs and cats to be mutants?

Later we walked around the swampland and got a feel for the vegetation that is home to Louisiana flora and fauna. What a wonderful world.
