The only dangerous animals in this scene are the ones outside of the cages. Thank goodness for the development of wildlife parks and those zoos with more natural habitats. I agree with Anon.

I'm not an animal rights wacko, mind you, but these structures were more like animal jails. They were around maybe into the '70s (or later), and they were awful. Of course, even the attractive, well-landscaped zoo exhibit is a jail of sorts. But if we're going to place animals on display, they're better off, for example, with having more than a few feet of concrete to wander. That aside, it's a great card. Probably handcolored?
