felt worthy to mark down as a book 😔

This is written in a passive-aggressive tone. Written matter-of-factly and full of disturbing information as it illustrates the capture of several animals. I would skip reading this to a young child entirely. Would definitely not be a good combination with a zoo visit. Oy!
