ZOO "PETTING ZOO" ANIMALS

Children who pet the baby animals in the petting zoo area of your local or regional zoo or theme park, little do they know that these baby animals may too often end up being fed to the adult carnivore predators animals being housed by the zoo! You do not really think the zoo keeps and raises all the animals they put on display now do you? Petting zoo animals may include chicks, rats, rabbits, quail, guinea pigs, mice and so on. Should children learn the truth about the "disposable" warm fuzzy creatures in the petting zoo? Many zoos take large daily shipments of these disposable creatures in order to feed its large predator population.
