Took a day trip to the conservatory which was beautiful. One member of our party wanted to stop by the zoo to see what it was all about. It was awful - the animals have NO room and they all look depressed. It really got to me when we stopped by the gorilla's pen - he was just sitting there as people pointed and stared and he looked so sad...just sitting there. And he was HUGE and in a tiny tiny enclosure. I had to leave because I started to tear up - I felt so awful for him.\r
This zoo is a disgrace and should be shut down so that the animals can be sent somewhere where they can live a relatively normal life.
