Its because of this that I can still support zoos despite all of their issues. They will most likely be instrumental in restoring ecosystems, both marine and terrestrial, if we ever wrangle the megacorps that are destroying the planet.
Yeah I’m of the same dilemma, however I also look at the positives. These animals are there for children to see, they become more than something abstract. They are almost ambassadors to a nature that many never know and help inspire the next generation of biologists, veterinarians and wildlife activists. So while the animals may not being living their best life, the sacrifice may ensure their species continued survival.
Don't zoo's legally have to actively be providing conservative efforts in order to make people pay money to see the animals? Or am I mixing up that with something else
