I remember once as a kid seeing a gorgeous mandrill squatting in a 3' x 3' cage at a private tourist trap zoo in Florida that was so profoundly depressed I could see it in his eyes and feel it in my bones. Glad to hear science is starting to be concerned about this. BTW, Jan 22. Keep the water flowing! 🌊

Ouch my heart!

I've unfortunately seen similar heartbreaking situations which only add to my internal conflict. But studies like this definitely help, and hopefully more animal protection laws will pass as research like this becomes better well-known.

Also, yessssssss! No wonder we jive so well, ha! Lovely as always to hear from you Alex :-)
