Zoos are just prisons for animals and one day we will realize that. We are amused and entertained yes, but at what cost? Ever really stop to look at a large mammal in a zoo? These are critters used to roaming for miles, now confined to someones backyard. They have a dead haunted stare often seen from shell shocked soldiers or prisoners fresh from solitary confinement.
As far as the conservation angle, many have pointed out on this thread, that if they are in a zoo we can just breed them later. Which leads us to ignore the poaching and loss of habitat that is happening. Also, pleas understand that this breeding stock is a vastly inferior one, with many inbred defects, not to mention no knowledge of their true habitat or proper life skills.
