Hellparents are always ready to give the lion's share of guilt to the wrong party...

At the zoo, as I was looking at the lions, I overheard a woman explaining to her daughter why the male lion was asleep. She said that in the wild the lion would be active and happy, but that it was lazy and depressed because it was locked up in a zoo. All of which makes me wonder why the woman is bringing her kid to a zoo if she so obviously disapproves of the place. It makes me wonder, too, if the woman knows that lions in the wild also sleep something like twenty hours a day.
