Our Captive Animals
by: McCoy, J.J.
True stories of many of the animals kept in zoos, game farms, & menageries,
along with a look at man's long relationship with wild animals, &
the problems & rewrads that have resulted from his efforts to keep
them in captivity. The author discusses the responisbilities these places
share for providing its animals with the proper kind of confinement, adequate
nutrition & exercise, good sanitation & preventive medicine, along
with an opportunity to socialize. The basic question of captivity vs.
freedom is discussed, along with such problems as captive animal psychology
as boredom & stereotyped behavior. Also explored is the important
role captive animals play in scientific research - and the equally important
role zoos & game farms have been playing in the preservation of endangered
species. B/W photos. 159 pgs.

We Bought A Zoo
by: Mee, Benjamin
The Amazing True Story of a Young Family, a Broken down Zoo, and the 200
Wild Animals That Change Their Lives Forever. Benjamin Mee decided to
uproot his family and move them to an unlikely new home: a dilapidated
zoo on the English countryside, complete with over 200 exotic animals.
It was his dream to refurbish the zoo and run it as a family business.
There was much work to be done, and none of it easy. Tigers broke loose,
money ran low, the staff grew skeptical, and family tensions ran high.
Then tragedy struck. His wife had a recurrence of a brain tumor, forcing
Benjamin and his children to face the heartbreak of illness and the devastating
loss of a wife and mother. But inspired by her memory and the healing
power of the incredible family of animals they had grown to love, Benjamin
and his kids resovled to move forward. The Mee family opened the gates
of the revitalized zoo in July 2007. Color photos. 261 pgs.
