Just in case we were too subtle when we had this talk last week: the animals are among us, and they're pissed. They haven't yet sprouted opposable thumbs, formed armies, and begun laying siege to our cities. But the day when our species is given the stark choice between working in the mines or being hunted for sport - not that far off. When it arrives you'll want some kind of documentation showing that you were never really into that whole "dominion over the Earth" thing.
If you're searching for a preemptive bribe you should strongly consider a visit to the San Diego Zoo or the San Diego Wild Animal Park.
The Zoo is in Balboa Park, near the center of Downtown San Diego. The Wild Animal Park is in Escondido, about 30 minutes away. Both are cutting-edge conservation facilities - world-renowned for their breeding successes - with healthy animals that romp through large, open enclosures.]]>
