Ed from Sunday Stills has asked us for our photos of danger.
I found this photo I took about 30 years ago at Auckland Zoo. I think the lion looks so sad, locked up in a cage. He is dangerous but this is not how he should be treated.
Excuse the quality of the image – it is a photo of a photo.

Even now with the big changes in zoo animals’ environments it still seems cruel to have them confined. I especially hate seeing the sad faces on Orangutans.

Awww…Poor lion. Yes – he does look sad. It’s like he’s doing time for a crime that he didn’t commit.
