    Zoos are the reason many species survive today. Conservation, breeding, and awareness programs and the such have saved species of every type on every continent.

      Or like, we could vote to preserve nature without needing to gawk at a piece of it?

        We can. Be honest, I estimate the odds of such a vote passing at roughly 0%. Most people just don’t care. To get them to care, you’d have to have an organisation handling awareness and outreach and… oh look, we’ve got a zoo.

        OK, please do that, then we can talk about shutting down zoos. When do you expect to be done with your little project?
