Chapter XI Jardin Zoologique, Liège: Director, M. Henrard
This Garden belongs to the Royal Society of Acclimatation and Horticulture of Liège.
On entering (I saw nobody to pay), I found a number of poultry pens, the inmates being for sale. A large number of ducks and geese are also bred and sold, and two cages contained fox-terrier dogs for sale. There was a bear pit, which appeared to be empty, and a monkey-cage only half full; but look as I would all over the Garden, I could find no other animals.
The Garden is very long and very narrow, and has several large duck-ponds, many down the middle containing a few ducks and geese. There is a children’s playground with swings of various kinds, but this Garden can scarcely be called a zoological garden. There is a school of horticulture, a restaurant, and a band-stand.
