this seems a little sad

as part of my day, i get a regular update from IAAPA (international association of amusement parks and attractions). good update for the most part, except the news tends to be a day late, 50% of the news is about parks in Asia and/or Europe (it is an international association after all) and about 75% of them talk about ride incidents (i don't dare say accidents).

today's update had the headline United States Zoos Named as Best Spots for Wildlife Photography

wouldn't actually going out into the wild be the best spot? sure, it cites a photography magazine as the content source and i'm sure not everyone has the budget to send people traipsing about the outback, desert or jungle to get a perfect shot, but its sad to herald a zoo as a good place for getting pictures of animals. it is logical since they are there, but there's no adventure to it.
