Dallas Zoo: Faces
Posted by Rags (Plano, United States) on 5 April 2008 in People & Portrait.
I went to the Dallas Zoo with a couple friends and I had lots of fun. Here is what came out of the visit. Hope you enjoy.

A great shot. I love the expression on the woman's face. The poor animals must have a hard time!

@Michael Skorulski: yeah, people can sometimes be very insensitive.

"I think the animals laugh at us deep down inside when we look like idiots and they don't have to be more than themselves.

@MJ: I think they think of us as animals. Maybe we are the Zoo and the are looking into our caged lives.

My first reaction to the shot is that it's amusing. But when I think about it, all the amusement drains away. These people are enjoying the plight of an animal that is being forced to spend its life in a cage, at least partly for their entertainment. Essentially, these people are getting pleasure from another living creature's pain. It's worse that laughing at prisoners in their cells, since the animal in the cage is "innocent" and has done nothing that justifies his imprisonment.
