Yesterday we went to the Toronto zoo. Zoos by their very nature should be educational and beneficial for sustaining dwindling wildlife populations. I get that. But the sad truth is these places are so miserable when you stand and watch these poor animals pacing up and down. Tigers, lynx, grizzly bears and other animals just gazing off beyond their enclosures whilst they trudge along the perimeter. An otter which has clearly gone mad. Lethargic cheetahs and polar bears lying so still I'd be surprised if they weren't drugged. Some arsehole goading the animals trying to get them to move/perform. This place was soul destroying. Cool to see certain animals in the flesh, but not at this cost. Perhaps my face belies my true feelings.
We went for a lovely meal at a restaurant/bistro nearby. Tasty steak.
Today we went to Montanas for a farewell lunch for mum. Delicious chorizo flatbread. This was after heading over to the farm once again to unblock the culverts as the beavers had dammed them up once again. Mike, angel and I all working hard.
