a note from safari park

It seems The Safari Park has become a favorite place for vacation. A few days ago, when I was there with some friends, wow...that forested place was full of visitors. Cars were crawling down the forest areas where wild animals released. So there were less convenient, and less satisfied too watching animals around. Then I thought, why they didn't set a queue system or a restriction of visitors. Or it's better the visitors should only be observing around by shuttle bus of the park management, so the animals won't feel cramped and noisy by hundreds or even thousands of cars passing by. But, maybe because it was used or was forced to get used to, the animals were overlooked it. An orang utan even kept looking at us when being photographed from the car. Maybe it wanna say, "What you looking at?!" hehehe

Although I was happy being on holiday with friends, but I felt joyless inside for the animals. While we were watching the dolphin show, it occurred to me how the dolphins had to work so hard to get the food rations from the trainer (or precisely, the park manager). If they existed in their habitats, their lives are certainly much more cheerful. They can jump higher and dance more beautifully.

It happened too when I took photos with baby lion. At first I was afraid because usually I couldn't even touch a cat. But as one put in my arms...My Lord...bless them all. Just like babies, they were so cute and innocent at all. One of them looked sleepy and then fell down on the stone table. There was a compassion came along with a smile seeing their cuteness. Why should be separated from its mother?

Maybe I'm too sensitive. Maybe it's better this way. In the wild, their existence threatened by humans, who knows how long they will go on destroying nature without feeling guilty.
