What do you think of this unusual experiment?

A zoo close to us is performing an unusual experiment. Several people are being put in an enclosure that's like the Orangutan enclosure. They will be "on display" for the general public for a month during business hours. This, according to zoo officials, will help them decide on a better enclosure for these wonderful primates. I admire the people who have agreed to do this, and I really think that over and above the ideas for better enclosures, it will give the ones in it a better idea of what it's like to be on display and what the animals go through, too. What do you think are some good things that will come about because of this and would you like to see more zoos do the same? Would you ever volunteer to do this?

I think it's a very unusual idea. LOL, no, I wouldn't want to be put on display.

I wouldn't either...kinda made me stop and think about how I'd like to be watched and pointed at all the time...don't think I'd like that! Thank you
