No, we did not vandalize anything, we just looked and took pictures. This whole group of pictures is by BB.

I apologize for being behind in commenting--hope to catch up soon!; October 29, 2009 at 4:51 PM
VP said...: You are right to post these images, a pity for the zoo, even if I don't like much this sort of things.; October 29, 2009 at 7:38 PM
Mary Stebbins Taitt said...: No, I don't either--looks like a concentration camp to me. EEEeek! Poor animals. But there is much of this in Detroit.; October 30, 2009 at 4:44 PM
Lowell said...: This is so sad. I was going to say someone's been monkeying around, but that really wouldn't be appropriate, would it?

So, I won't say that. Some people, of course, would applaud the demise of a zoo...

Nice photos.; October 30, 2009 at 7:22 PM
