    Great capture, though rather depressing at the same time.

    emotional shot! I dislike zoos such as the Bronx and many others of their type. If zoo’s are to continue to exist, there has to be radical changes made to the way they are built. Open spaces and natural setting are what is required. Not concrete pens.
