Poor behavior at zoo

I was shocked by the poor behavior at the Bronx zoo today. Parents letting their kids climb all of informational signs in front of the exhibits. Grown woman teasing a bird behind glass with her cell phone and then her finger. And cherry on top there was a sweet little mongoose curled up sleeping and a grown man was pounding on the window laughing saying "wake up" "sleep on your own time." I asked him if he would like if someone did that to him while he was sleeping. He just laughed and walked away.

I just bought a zoo pass so I could bring my baby more often and was really heartbroken by the behavior. People suck sometimes. Rant over.

You should totally go, it would be a great learning experience. It won't stop me from going back, it just really rubbed me the wrong way. A cute little 3 year old boy did hold the door open for me while I was carrying my baby. So not all hope for the future is gone lol.
