Went to an animal sanctuary yesterday

Bergeron's, it is called. Their specialty is rescuing siberian tigers from poorly run zoos, people with weird ideas about pets, and television shows.

We were there for the two o'clock feeding. Boy, does an animal ever have personality when it is hungry. These were not the lazing-about animals you see at the Toronto zoo. These tigers and lions were aggressive about the slabs of meat they were thrown, and fought for them. Quite something to see, but an hour after they had been fed, they had all retreated into hiding, or were lazing about like animals at the zoo.

We saw some Japanese Macquaques that had been rescued from some guy who got them addicted to tobacco. As usual with primates, I could not help but notice how human-like they seemed.

I have been checking my work email, a foolish thing to do on vacation. I have gotten back into getting worried about projects and deadlines. :-)
