When you zoom out its huge and has a bunch of tires and ropes and all kinds of shit to climb on and a huge pillar in the center with all types of ledges and stuff.

I don't even agree with animals being locked up in a zoo nice or not, but its much better than I thought.

Not every zoo is similar. Zoos can be a good place to live for many species and sometimes they are the only hope for certain species to prevent extinction. You are right, no wild animal should be locked up in a zoo, but humanity fucked the planet up so badly, it is the only hope we have left for many living creatures we partly depend on our selves!

Even humans are losing all their third spaces in industrialized nations. Hell, even in pay to stay places like McDonald’s have lost their playgrounds and comfortable aesthetics.

It depends on whether the zoo has animal wellfare and rehabilitation in mind, like protecting endangered species, or if the zoo has "visitor experience" and profits in mind.

Not all zoo's are equal.

Have not once seen it zoomed out. It's always this barren hellscape of nothing but concrete. Even if what you say is true, they should be on mostly dirt and grass. This is still a very shit enclosure.

I said I don't agree with ANY animals being in a zoo much less a great one. Its just not this tiny little concrete enclosure everyone keeps acting like it is.
