I’ll never forget visiting a zoo in North Dakota in the summertime and it was so uncomfortably hot even for humans to be walking around and they had penguins on display at the zoo and the indoor area was closed so they had to be outside on display and they were all huddled together in a corner in the shade trying to escape the oppressive heat and it was breaking my heart. There was a pool there outside for them to swim in, but the pool was in the sun and it was just so friggin’ hot outside. Poor little guys.

Wow, that’s messed up. I don’t know if there’s an authority they could be reported to, but that sounds abusive.
