| People weren't the only prisoners in the Tower, the "Royal Beast" collection was extensive...so were the animal rights violations! We agreed that for "keepers" & others who lived about that part of the Tower, the smell alone must have been unbearable, not to mention that many of the animals they kept didn't belong in the English climate, nor could they have been able to maintain their correct diets, etc. Nonetheless, it must have been more fascinating & exciting to see these "royal beasts" than we can imagine, because they were unlike anything anyone had ever witnessed at the time. Obviously, when there are no wildlife magazines, books, documentaries, etc. these animals must have stirred curiosities as exotic as the animals themselves! |
