What to do? What to do?

April 12, 2023

You are cleaning the kitchen and reach for a paper towel and the roll is empty.

What to do?

Save the cardboard tube and take it to the zoo.

You are wrapping presents and have just enough paper to cover your gift.

What to do?

Save the cardboard tube and take it to the zoo.

You reach for the toilet paper and discover the roll is empty.

What to do?

Ask yourself who was the last person who used the bathroom and failed to replace the roll. Call the authorities and have that person arrested.

Save the cardboard tube and take it to the zoo.

And what will the zoo do with all these cardboard tubes? Volunteers and staff create enrichment items for the animals. Enrichment items allow animals to demonstrate their species-typical behavior. They help animals have control or choice over their environment which enhances their well-being. Enrichment is just as essential to animal welfare as proper nutrition and veterinary care.
