(Another) word on zoos

The post I wanted to put up tonight isn't working out (yet).

But I've been especially bothered by zoo question - should they even exist? - since a kid and a tiger were killed at the San Francisco zoo last Christmas, so I'll offer this up for now.

I took my own not-quite-right post about that event down. On rare occasions, I'd like someone else to speak for me.
So, I give you a more articulate (and more sensitive) voice. Radio Lab is the master work of one Robert Krulwich and one Jad Abumrad. They make a great radio duo, but when it comes to zoos, as in this episode, I'm with Jad all the way.
