Thanks to a new 10-part series from Animal Planet, viewers can experience the San Diego Zoo — from the comfort of their living rooms.
A century ago, a San Diego physician named Harry Wegeforth held a meeting with his brother and three other men.
“We have this history as an organization of having unique ways for our guests to experience animals,” Schwartz said, including “the first opportunity to see animals that weren’t in the traditional cement and concrete and metal bars, but instead in a large open exhibit that has a moat separating people. At that time, in the ’20s and ’30s, it was never seen in America before.”
In other words, zoos and those employed there are committed to combating the impression that zoos are places of suffering for the animals inhabiting them — a commitment “The Zoo: San Diego” underscores.
