could be the future though since many animals start to get the word Endangered infront of the're names. Still far away but closer then you think. I do like the surprised look of the male sparrow here though

The saddest animals were in the bird section. There were many other predatory birds and vultures all in the same big cage. I remember there was a Bald eagle, a golden eagle, a turkey vulture and some other big birds of that kind. The only things in the cage besides those birds were some poles and bowls of food and water in some areas. The ground was all concrete and full of bird crap and feathers. In fact, it was plenty of bird poo in the food bowls and water. It was a real mess. The thing that really made me sick was the California Condor. He was standing on a singular pole, looking at the ground. He wasn't even trying to fly like the other birds in that cage. It wasn't making any noises. It didn't have any reason to live at all. I haven't been in a zoo since that time.
On the other hand, I know many animals in zoos ( like that sparrow ) are there because it's the only way left for them to reproduce and, hopefully, be eventually set free, but when I see a zoo on tv or in movies or whatever, I can't help myself but see our failure in evolving as the dominant species without harming its environment.
