      It doesn't make much sense for humans to try to illegally make humans sleep outside instead of in their own paid for houses 2017-2024 and then illegally kidnap wild animals and bugs outside and try to make them sleep or stay indoors prior to 1/26/2025.

    This is the most Beautiful thing I have ever seen. They are beings with a life existing outside being owned by a zoo and they experience joy at living everyday. We are responsible for their joy when they live in captivity and I Love that they got a new beautiful experience. A true joy!
    After seeing this? I believe all zoos should bring in snow machines at certain times a year so the animals can enjoy their lives more and have fun in a new climate. I think people would contribute to a campaign like that online and pay for it if the zoos asked to support their animals in this way. This is worth it.
