I like this :)

Not to start being an apologist for zoos, and I do appreciate this particular essay was written in 1977, but a zoo's primary function is conservation, and then perhaps education - not merely for an animal to be "seen" and thus marginalised. No doubt in the 70s zoos were not as good as they are today, and today they're still not good enough, but I do not view animals as "less" because they are enclosed.

I like the writing style but by gum has this man been a silly twit. I'm hoping it will look up from here, but still a third of the book to go so would seem unlikely.

Icl this is just a bit stressful

Glad this guy studied zoology, didn't know that before getting the book but so far so accurate

Mmm not gleaning masses here

My guy thinks LOTR is full of "repulsive values"

Short book but slow progress. Feeling like I already know the stuff he's talking about, like the opposite of imposter syndrome (but I'm still an imposter)
