2 Zoos

Last week I visited one of Polish zoos. If I had known something more about that place I wouldn't have gone there. However, it was a rich experience. I haven't visited many zoos because of being too gentle. Nobody is willing to see how an animal can suffer. Recently many improvements have been implemented but even with rigorous inspections the number of zoos that should be closed down is alarming. There're many happenings or events which aim is to draw attention to this problem. 

On the world map we can find many places like Cabarceno. It's an enormous area which were created to keep animals from all over the world in semi-liberty. If you want to see the whole park it's not recommended to on foot or by bicycle. You can drive your own car. As you can see it's not totally environmentally friendly because of the exhaust fumes. 

I'm not sure if they keep many species that are going to extinct or animals in danger of extinction. I remember that they have some endangered species, especially predatory birds. They also offer a spectacular display with birds of prey.

Despite being against animals in captivity the idea of Cabarceno is less damaging than keeping animals in a traditional zoo. It is said that zoos protect animals from starvation, drought or another natural disaster. But why have we always tried to interfere with the nature?

1 A nice evening

If I were an animal I would be the most skittish one. I'm getting scared for no reason. As you can guess, that's makes me furious. If I were brave I would do so many exciting things! I have been trying to become courageous. I was truly convinced that a shock therapy would work. I went on a trip with some intrepid friends. We decided to visit historical places. They let my guard down. Because of violent deaths every place or even a treacherous road can become spooky. Historical places meant for them creepy castles... They wanted to go to a site of a gruesome murder. I didn't believe them so I asked if they had known what's really gruesome? A day at my university. It really hurts when you are making a joke and, surprisingly, results that you have chosen a bad moment to be funny... 

We got into the castle with (totally useless because of the profound darkness) flashlights. Everybody was willing to hear another ghost story except me. My friend was wandering around the castle's room and... suddenly he gave me a fright! I started to scream. I also heard a pent laughter. I realised what had happened and then I was going to kill him. Dying of daggering would be a nice death. When I managed to get out I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. 

No creepy places, please!
