Strange at first site...

On vacation, my family went to a Wildlife Park where you get to feed wild animals from your car.

First of all, the park is all the worst things about capitalism. It takes these beautiful animals from Africa (and other regions in the world) and forces them to "beg for their supper" one car load at a time. For our amusement.

Secondly though, it does provide an up close experience with animals other wise off limits to us. (Bison, Zebra, Giraffe, Elk). Even though that experience is artificial (in every way), it is an opportunity to appreciate the size and beauty of these creatures. Besides, it is just bizarre (and thrilling) to have a large male Elk stick his head in your vehicle.
