Okay, okay, I get it...
... you don't want to see any more of my pictures of animals getting carved up. I understand. I'm not hurt at all.
So - for a change of pace I'll do some non-carved-up animal pics. (I swear to god I'll take pictures of something other than animals one of these days....)
So - typical B.A. dog. Well-cared for, lolling in a gorgeous square, seemingly all alone.
After a thoroughly mediocre lunch at a place called Sigi on Plaza Guemes (where the waiter was smarmy and kind of halfway felt me up), I headed over to the zoo where I saw:
The hottest polar bear I've ever seen (what must he do in the summer?);
Begging elephants (the zoo allows the kids to feed most of the animals this kibble stuff. I remember doing the same at the San Antonio zoo as a kid, but now it just seems to make the animals so sadly servile. Though it does make for some nice photos);
A gorgeous, but anxiously pacing tiger;
A very pissed-off looking monkey. Actually lots of pissed-off looking monkeys. And orangutans. And some sad-eyed chimps.
Honestly, these are more depressing that the cows getting cut up.

I just started reading your book yesterday, and I absolutely love it. I'm also from Texas, also moved to NY for a while, lived in Park Slope, and now back in Houston. Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello. You can find me at www.elvisknits.com.

That monkey looks suspiciously like my nurse in the ER the other night...only nicer. I loved your book, but after I read it I went back and read the original blog from start to finish and it was even awesome -er.
This is why I never go to zoos anymore. I'd rather be eating them than see them locked up like this.
