The two major zoo dead zones that I could think of are northern New England and the northern Great Plains. And yet, of the fifty states in the union, there are only two which are zoo-less. Vermont is a fairly small state that's not that far of a drive from New York or southern New England, and there is a small aquarium on Lake Champlain, so that sort of counts. The other zoo-free state, probably not surprisingly, is Wyoming.
But why Wyoming, as opposed to, say, Montana or Idaho, or one of the Dakotas (South Dakota has the impressive-looking Great Plains Zoo in Sioux Falls, which is one of the larger US zoos I haven't been to... yet)? Andrew Rossi, of the Cowboy State Daily, has some thoughts... Fortunately, the Cowboy State has enough natural wildlife to keep animal lovers more than happy!
