First of all, I want to tell you how much I enjoy AnimalEthics. It’s a job-matching site for all jobs related to animals, like training, grooming, veterinary medicine, caretaking, zoo positions, and much, much more. If the majority of your blog readers are animal lovers like me, then I know they’d love my site.
To the Editor: Re “ Lost Cobra May Hide for Weeks, Zoo Says ” (news article, March 29): The sideshow atmosphere surrounding the lost cobra at the Bronx Zoo has yielded online hilarity and supplied material for late-night talk show hosts, but the zoo is never fun for the animals.

The zoo, surely, carries responsibility for deficiencies in its enclosure. In light of this horrible incident, is it right for the zoo to carry on a breeding program that subjects more animals to such unnatural lives? In my opinion, neither Harambe nor the child should ever have been at the zoo.
