Observe the Observers

Zoo is a park or an institution in which living animals are kept and usually exhibited to the public. It would not be wrong if we call it the park for children. It looks full on the Sunday, the weekly holiday and during the other public holidays, one has to wait for long time to enter in the zoological garden. Majority of people went there to amuse their children. It would not be wrong if I said that Zoo is favorite place among the children and young ones. But the favorite animals keep on changing with the passage of time. In the earlier ages, children like monkey then lion and elephant etc. But as soon as the young ones enter in teen age, their interest develops in the animals without cage. Perhaps now they become more courageous and now they lost their interest in the innocent animals, behind the bars. Now they prefer to gaze the animals without cage, openly walking and offering themselves for exhibition.
Most of the animals are imported, only few belong to Pakistan. But the local animals feel inferiority complex. So, they try to copy the actives of imported brand. Doing so, they lost their charm and simplicity. And those animals present the funny look to their visitors.
“Popcorns” are not allowed to offer the animals publicly but this practice is continued. Now, there are two classes of visitors. One is that, which can afford the popcorns. They tempt the animals by showing popcorns to capture their attention, and the second class just amused to see this practice of offering and accepting the popcorns. They just watch this drama with the laughter on their faces and commenting that it is the game for rich class because animals have only one interest, “Popcorns”. Some naughty persons throw empty packing bags towards the animals and earn their anger.
So, the animals behind the bars also get amusement to watch the practices of animals out of the bars. And as we have a circle of life, same way we have circle of entertainment. In the earlier ages children get pleasure to see the activities of animals behind the bars and when those children put step in teen age, animals from behind the bars amused to watch their activities.
A connection between human and animal is not much harmful there in zoo because no any horrible encounter expected there due to the interference of public, but if some visitor leads animal towards the Laurence Garden, there are much chances for horrible encounter. Because there are the existence of isolated places, the Eden of hunters. But even in these isolated places there could be the existence of some horrible creature, watching you behind the bushes. So, its warning for both the animals and visitors to don’t spread out of the zoo. It would be harmful for society and if it happens whole the society will present the reflection of jungle.
