A zoo could be the best option for you to take some me-time. As I like to spend my time sightseeing the City of Bandung alone, I went to Bandung Zoo some weeks ago. Luckily, I could get up early to go to the zoo and enjoy the Bandung's morning atmosphere. The purpose of going to the zoo was to see how the animals there were being treated. And, nothing much but sadness. As I saw a lot of animals were in a cage, well it's big cages, but the place itself wasn't clean and a bit messy. Visitors were allowed to give peanuts and other food to the animals, which was ethically not good at all. Animals have their own food from the operators or animal handlers, most of the animals can't eat any kind of food. But when the people gave them food carelessly, they surely curious about the food and they just eat it, carelessly too. I pity for the people who gave the food to the animals whereas the rules were totally clear that visitors can't give animals the food. I pity for the managers of the zoo who don't care enough for the animals, they have rights to live happily and well in suitable places for them. It's just sad seeing them live like that, you know.
Despite all of the thoughts I wrote, I quite enjoy photographing the animals from outside their cages. I didn't take so many of them, but here they are.
All photos were taken by Yashica fx3 super 2000 and film Kodak 200.
