Zoos are becoming facsimiles - or perhaps caricatures - of how animals once were in their natural habitat. If the right policies toward nature were pursued, we would need no zoos at all.
Since 1967, it has been compulsory to hang the Chilean flag from every public building in the country during Fiestas Patrias. The flag must be in perfect condition, hung correctly from a white pole or from the building front. Failure to do so can result in fines of up to 40,000 pesos (about US$ 80).
