Animal Magic - Non-Wildlife Rusty, the 10 year old Irish Setter by Louise Bradt Lion at Cape May Zoo in New Jersey USA by Roger Becker Love them or hate them, animals are a part of our lives. Whether they are the dogs and cats in our homes or the animals in the zoos and ‘parks’, they all have a place in our lives. Many would say that animals belong in the wild and not in the zoo, and we can understand that viewpoint but there is a ‘but’. If many of these animals were in the wild, they would probably be in the sights of poachers or hunters. If we released these captive bred animals to the wild they would probably not survive the year. The positive side of the non-wildlife animals is the education, company and pleasure they bring to our lives. Look at the pre-Victorian pictures of the animals we know today, described from imagination. They are a far cry from reality. Now at least we can all see the power and majesty of the animals, so long as those animals are treated with dignity and respect.
