What is a zoo in Toronto’s eyes? Is it an animal sanctuary? A field trip factory? On this episode of Muddy York, we'll look at the history of the high-minded, chaotically managed mega-zoo that we know today as well as the Riverdale Zoo that came before it.

You know anytime I think Holyday has made himself as unlikeable as possible... he goes out of his way to just be extra annoying.

Yeah, double the limit, almost.. But it's alright...

Oh no... asking for consent/permission and possibly having to give fair compensation would destroy an industry?

Maybe you dont actually have an industry but just a massive grift that needs to be stopped.

We do seem to travel camera in hand to some similar destinations about town.

I blame the camera.. It's really the brain behind my outings.
