NO zoo



again, i ask myself, why should there be a zoo in the first place? as long as we have scientists travelling half the world to bring us images of the animals in their original habitat, and efforts to protect the extinct...has anyone made a study to how many visitors are there a day? is the zoo such a profitable business, despite being morally bankrupt?

the problem of ZOOs (whether they should remain or not) is difficult to solve. i basically agree with you - in my opinion the animals shouldnt unnecessarily suffer in capture. that is the problem of most of the ZOOs, which dont provide the natural environment for animals.

but, there are such ZOOs (safaris?) that provide them larger area in their natural environment.

of course, i would only preserve the endangered species in ZOOs (but that's gonna be nearly all the species soon).
just wanted to say that according to me, ZOOs dont have just disadvantages.
peace.)
