Has anyone read The Life of Pi ? It is the story of a young Indian boy whose family has a zoo. His family is lost at sea and he survives the sinking in a life boat....just him and a 450 lb. tiger.
I haven't finished it yet but was quite taken with his thoughts on zoos. (Be warned....there is also a horrifying scene in the life boat!) But the discussion of animal behavior, anthropomorphism, man vs. animal, etc. is very interesting.
