Zoos don't die from old age. They die from neglect. Let's also make a point to invite every kid in town to the last rites. Let them watch the keepers cage the cassowaries and box up the boas. We have reasonable explanations for most of those questions, but I'm not sure if any of them will be answers.
Kids are too young for such nonsense.
Then the zoo will finally fall silent. Maybe that's best. Best because the miracle of rebirth is only possible after something dies. George Ayoub is a columnist at The Independent. Post your thoughts in The Public Forum.
