I have a sick fascination with zoos.

I love animals and wherever I go, I have to see how cities cage them. It’s never good and always tragic, and the Beijing Zoo was no exception. In fact, their prided panda exhibit was so bad it prompted Jack to ask, "What else ya got Deirdre? House of Fatal Car Crashes?“

The wild cats were significantly worse, only to be outdone by the elephants.

But it’s alright. Lots of people at this zoo were banging on the glass and yelling at the animals to keep them distracted and amused.

I spared uploading any photos of of the poor animals, except for this photo featuring some of the many human species here today.
