I
was very excited about the chance to see the koalas, especially if I was able
to pet one. Unfortunately, when I made my way to the koala compound, I was horrified
to see people molesting the animals. The enclosure was made so that visitors could
get pictures with the cute little marsupials. The keepers had allowed more than
10 people into the enclosure, most of which were taunting and laughing loudly
at the koala. He was scrambling around in the tree, trying vainly to get away
from them. The flashes on the cameras were flashing like crazy, and I was disgusted
that the zoo keepers did nothing to keep these people under control.
These
beautiful blessed creatures deserve much more than this; how dare they were mistreated
in such a fashion.
I eventually
exited the line, for I couldn't take any more of this scene playing out before
me.
