Wild animals, confined to cages to be gawked at by voyeuristic humans sounds like a horror movie. And at the same time- I love them. Though I would never qualify myself as an animal lover ( ask my sister), there is something about seeing with my own eyes the vast array of species, directing my attention to those we have lost to extinction, and bearing witness to behavior not often observed by humans that feels, well, holy. There is something sacred in the observance. While there, I cannot help but marvel and wonder. It’s one of the few times I feel a certain edge of certainty about the divine.
