“For me, it was when the swingsets disappeared from the schools.”
Yep,that too ! Sad,isn’t it?
I wasn’t sorry to see the see-saws go, however. Those things would hurt you.
I went to a zoo with my wife and children one sunny day and saw a Bengal Tiger all locked away behind bars, It looked like his head was about 100 pounds, his mouth was huge and his teeth awesome. Even today if I had it to do over again I would not do it without a 357 magnum in my hand. They are instant death. Pity the person the tiger attacked. He was scared to death and he saw death in a flash. Just call me Mr. Pass on a lot of wildlife hehind bars. Put animals like this back where Mother nature intended them to be and leave them alone, that is just my opinion. Sooner or later another one will get out by whatever means and kill someone else, animals can not unlock doors and jump over a fence like the animal would be behind. A human made this error or intended to let the beast out to kill someone.
