Zoo Trip

On February 19th, 2015, we went to the Auckland Zoo. We were able to view a range of the animals and thought about how these animals were in captivity and what had the zoo done to try to make the creatures feel like they were in an environment similar to that of its native home.

We heard that in the 1950's the zoo once kept 15 lions in a small concrete enclosure and there also used to be elephant rides all day. Another thing that used to happen was that they had trained chimpanzees that would be dressed up and pretend to be humans by drinking tea and even smoking cigarettes!!

This will now help us learn more about wild animals, animals in captivity and humans roles and responsibilities when taking animal rights into account.

When it comes to this earth we need to ask ourselves, whose home is this?

Welcome back 2015!
