Attempts to defend amusement parks and circuses on the grounds that they 'educate' people about animals should not be taken seriously.

What we know about the destination resort business is clearly established. But it's all about one thing, and one thing only.

Nothing is more humiliating than to see idiots succeed in enterprises we have failed in.
