Reply #77: My only recollections of Tacoma are the zoo (Defiant something?) [View All]

And they're not happy memories...the Beluga whale that kept making the exact same swimming path over and over and over and over.................the poor thing was clearly driven into insanity, and I walked out to where 2 elephants were tied down with chains on their feet to stakes in the ground - one just stood there and the other just continued to raise one foot that wasn't locked down...for a few seconds...and put it down again. I was OUTRAGED...wanted to walk over there and let the poor creature loose - which would of course be counterproductive since it would be killed by some idiot cop if it were free ("free")...sorry to get off on a rant, I really hate the way we humans operate sometimes.
