No. No we are not dressing up the animals at the zoo for Halloween.

What the Hell?

I'm getting told I'm not encouraging a "kid-friendly atmosphere" because I think dangerous animals deserve respect. Getting dressed up is something a person gets a choice in. How am I supposed to ask a wild cat if it wants to wear a costume? One roar for no? Two for yes?

Give me a break, people.

	I hope so. Kids can be fun. You like kids, Claire? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They can be entertaining. I have two nephews, I haven't seen them in a while though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How old are they? You might want to invite them out to the zoo for Halloween if they're still young enough to enjoy it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think one is a teen now, and the other is still young. They don't live close, and it'd be too short notice to have them fly out. Maybe I'll get out to see them for Christmas. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You really haven't seen them in a while, huh? I'm an only child. I always thought it'd have been nice to have a sibling. Family is something you can't replace. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, it's been a long time. I love my sister. We do talk as often as we can, but between her job, and family and then my job it's hard to find the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Never been much of a corporate climber myself. I did my service to my country then I went out on my own to work with animals. I wish I had more family sometimes. Other times I'm happy to be with the wild life. They understand me better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's something I'm good at. Or was good at. I think you understand them better than most. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You are good at it. No question. I won't be surprised if you show up on the ballot one day for President. Thank you. I try to give my animals the respect they give me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you, but I doubt anything like that will ever happen. I have no desire to get into politics. I can understand that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This is why everyone always complains about politicians. All the people who might be good at it know better than to try it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know that I would be any good at it, but thank you for the confidence. (Reply to this) (Parent)
