	ARFF - Petting Zoos
		Petting zoos and pony rides may seem to be appropriate ways to introduce small children to farm animals, but the animals kept at these attractions often suffer hidden cruelties.
		Petting zoos are notorious for breeding baby animals to attract attention, and disposing of older and unwanted animals to uncertain fates.
		Petting zoos, pony rides and pig races send negative messages that cruelty is O.K. The Animal Rights Foundation of Florida believes that children should be taught to respect animals in their natural environment.

	ZOOMARS PETTING ZOO
		Coming into the project, their main objective aside from incorporating their bird store was to enlarge the existing petting pens to provide better housing for the animal residents and allow more interaction with visitors.
		But due to unfortunate setbacks with city regulations, their first disappointment was having to move their exotic bird store from its temporary home in the Olivares House, back to the City of Lake Forest from which they came.
		Initially the couple proposed building a magnificent bird store in the dirt lot behind their petting zoo, but immediately after beginning to enlarge the animal pens, the couple was served with two “Stop Construction” notices and a “Cease Parking” letter on their River Street entrance, both of which remain in effect today.

		For starters, I have a long history with exotic pets (typically involving reptiles, tropical birds, rodents, and insects) that goes back to my early childhood.
		My two oldest brothers were constantly bringing home snakes, geckos, agamas, monitors, etc. Though I was quite interested in their collections, and frequently helped them out with feeding and maintaining their cages, I never really owned a reptile of my very own.
		I felt it was time to revisit the idea of dabbling in exotic pets to add a little variety to my interests.
