In 1500 the Indian sub continent was experiencing a glorious period of wealth, luxury and peace. The Mogul Emperors took special care in the conservation of natural animal and plant llife. The Mogul emperor Akbar the Great established zoos in various Indian cities which far surpassed in quality and size anything in Europe. Unlike the cramped European menageries, Akbar's zoos provided spacious enclosures and cages, built in large reserves. Each had a resident doctor, and Akbar encouraged careful study of animals. His zoos were open to the public. At the entrance to each he posted a message: 'Meet your brothers. Take them to your hearts, and respect them.'" [David Hancocks, A Different Nature.] This appears to be the first clear differentiation between exhibition of animals for entertainment and exhibition as attempted humane education. (M. Clifton, 2007)
