I decided to head to the Manila Zoo today.
I had a feeling that it would be a very poor place, and thought that the only way to be able to tell was to visit. I was uncertain about the orality of buying a ticket - if you buy a ticket you are endorsing the poor conditions, but if they don't get money the conditions wll stay just as bad.
It was a very sorry place, with the big cats in enclosures that were far too small, and the elephant looking very lonely and sad.
I am glad that I went so that I could witness it, but I am not happy about how the animals are being kept at all.
