Grapes With The Apes

A cute name and a good cause, I suppose.  But I really hate zoos.  The last time I went (I think) was back in college days, and I was quietly saddened seeing all of the great mammals locked up in cages and pens.  The whole thing just depresses me and seems very Victorian and hopelessly out of date.  I suppose the larger game parks would be okay, or at least a compromise with some folks' desire to see wild animals as nothing more than circus attractions to throw peanuts at.
