please do not inadvertently mock the animals

Unfortunately, there was nothing on the receipt from the purchase of the tickets for the recent visit to the zoo offering a discount on the Highland Wildlife Overflow Park if it was visited within a specified number of months. When he becomes able to make a distinction between his current one-size-fits-all "BAAAGH!" into the "BAAA" as applicable to a sheep and "RAAAGH" as might be attributed to a tiger then we might get him a year's zoo-visiting rights and make damn sure we get our money's worth out of it but in the meantime we just went round this place not begrudging it the entrance fee too much on the grounds that its inmates seemed much less restricted in their movement by decrepit Victorian enclosures than in the zoo. He certainly enjoyed himself, so much so that at the end of the day (after a particularly exciting half-hour picking up dried pine needles and pushing them through a wire-mesh fence with his back to the deer enclosure in which some deer were lightly antler-jousting) he was sick right in the middle of the short journey back, requiring the removal of the car seat from the car in order to dangle the not-completely-detachable straps in the sink to get the sick off them. A teeny bit made it through the strap-eyelets and onto the seat beneath but it was hopefully insufficient to make the car smell of partially-digested fish pie forevermore.
