I'd like to see the world outgrow the inhumane institution of zoo's. Animals may not be as smart as humans, they may be run by instinct over logic but emotionally they feel...deeply. Anyone who has had a dog knows this. Pain, sadness, loneliness, despair, frustration, anxiety, anger and mostly hurt. Hurt that humans are so selfish and cruel as to imprison them for display and exploitation.

Without zoos, there would be almost zero empathy for any wild animals.

Disagree. Zoo's teaches humans it's ok to exploit and cause untold grief and suffering to animals for the purpose of entertainment.
