My parents used to take me to the pet department and tell me it was a zoo.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I hate zoos.
Zoo: An excellent place to study the habits of human beings.
My roommate got a pet elephant. Then it got lost. It's in the apartment somewhere.
I got access to a private tour of the zoo. I got to go in a cage with a koala, which I highly recommend.
I've never been around pets. I didn't have pets as a child.
My parents were very permissive when it came to animals. As long as we earned the money to buy them and built whatever structure it was they were going to live in, we could have any kind of pet we wanted. They would have let us have a rhinoceros if we could have afforded it.
I didn't want to do a zoo show. I didn't want to do a study of someone with mental illness. I just wanted to show someone who was trying to live their life.
Someone told me it's all happening at the zoo.
What's the reality of being inside a zoo, for the animals and for the people who love and care for those animals? There's a lot of joy, and there's a lot of loss.
I have spent my entire life living in a zoo, which is pretty crazy. Not many kids get to say that, and it took me until I was about three years old to realize that we didn't just come to the zoo every day, that we actually lived here.
