I mention this only because I really do support zoos. Without them, there wouldn't be anywhere near the support for wild-life conservation, preserves, habitats, and endangered species would be at even more risk.
Without zoos, my 8 year old won't be able to connect with African wildlife. This is where the money comes from. A small number of animals suffering (not torture, just lack of freedom) to benefit the rest sounds pretty good.
Otherwise, soon we'll only see game animals in Museums. Stuffed. With a really cheesy slide-show.

This is where you have been brainwashed. Tell me, what was the last thing you actuallt learned when visiting a zoo. They are for us to gawk at and that's it. Your child can learn more about these animals in a classroom than visiting a zoo. Zoos are for entertainment and that's it. And Zoo Atlanta took all their info on their gorillas parentage off of their website after let their secret out. But then all you had to do was read it before they took it off their site.
