I can see how/why we become more cynical with age and wisdom, but we should hope and expect for the best of conditions when it comes to how other living beings are treated... I am not alone in my concerns: http://www.yelp.com/biz/portland-aquarium-milwaukie-2
Wow, this fish petting zoo sounds horrible. I read the yelp reviews and from what I have read it will be surprising if they stay open for very long. I am personally not a fan of zoo's and aquariums. They irk me but this place seems to take the cake.
