Normal zoos are cruel. But nature preserve/zoos like the California adventure one that has all their animals in multi acre enclosures without cages, yeah. The northern white rhino is about to go extinct and would have been a hundred years ago if not for captive breeding programs and artificial insemination. The last breeding male lives is Kenya Nairobi. The prezwalski horse, totally extinct in the wild, now only lives in private herds and zoos. And if we had known, they dodo and thylacine would probably be alive too still. We as humans need to take responsibility for our impact on this biosphere and everything in it, living or not. All of the fore mentioned species have been wiped out or brought to the brink of extinction by the actions of man. Poaching. Hunting, global warming and deforestation are all genuine threats. We will see the polar bear take it's place among these guys soon. And there isn't a thing we can do to stop it.
to think that zoos are morally wrong?
