I have mixed feelings on zoos. I remember going to the Chicago Zoo, and seeing the paths around the enclosures where animals had paced in circles, bored and depressed, for YEARS. I thought that sucked. That's not ok to do to animals. I wish all zoos were animal rehab facilities, instead. Like the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary in Australia or the Elephant Nature Park in Thailand. Those are awesome. ...That said, if you ARE going to capture animals, at least have stimulation and enrichment programs like this.

[@UhtredOfBamburgh]

Me too. I think zoos are okay as long as the enclosures are appropriate especially in size. Last time I was at the zoo the polar bears looked sad and depressed and the wolves paced around in the same circular path and seemed furiously agitated but almost every herbivore to the contrary looked like they were in paradise. Predators need large territory and the stimulation of a hunt. At the same time people living in cities may be drawn more towards protecting nature around the world when they are stimulated by a zoo education

[@firstylasty9417]
