The end of the zoo era?

Looking at the events of recent days, when doctors are forced to choose which of the patients to live and to whom, the time has come to die, due to the lack of medical personnel and ventilation equipment, I would like to ask ourselves whether, in general, we need zoos?

What will happen to them?

People have proved once again that their desire to see something new may play a bad joke with them and with those who, by the will of fate, remained in a cage, became a hostage to this situation.

How many animals in zoos, now, expects people to decide where they will spend the money, whom to live, and to whom, to die.

I took these photographs in the zoo of our city, three years ago, but, a few months ago, I edited these photographs.

Then, I did not know that they would be very relevant today.

On the one hand, this is a bad time, but it gives us the opportunity to review our lives, draw some conclusions, and single out the main thing from the secondary.

Perhaps when the pandemic fades away, a new time will come, a time of freedom for those whom we looked at as our toys, which exist only for what would be fun for us.

Now, we, like animals in zoos, are sitting in cages, wears muzzles, we keep our distance from each other, like chain dogs.

It seems to me that the time has come for freedom from petty desires.

For my publications, I do not use stock photographs, it is fundamentally important for me to use photographs that I have made with my own hands for publication and I can name them - authorial work.
