Everywhere, on every cage, there is a plaque with huge letters: “Don’t feed animals, your food can be poison for them!” and everywhere, well, in every cage, in every wolier, at least somebody let the beasts eat ice cream, chips, popcorn or cookies.

A long time ago, my mom told me about a zoo in Germany. That there for some not too dangerous and not too capricious animals their daily diet was divided into small portions, wrapped in bits and sold next to the squads. Imagine, the cattle can be fed without any bites of conscience purchased immediately and perfectly suitable for it with carrots, a bunch of seed or a handful of grain. And at the same time, feeding the animal is not just worth nothing for the zoo, it brings a profit! Plus the joy of visitors, plus the genuine interest of the animal in the people who stop at the fence. By the way, I would pay a couple of hundred for a servant with me to give a piece of meat to a leopard - on my behalf.)))
