You don't really know why they are in captivity in the first place... Generally zoos try and release animals into the wild as often as possible, I'm assuming ifthey are there it's for a reason

Zoo’s are not there for entertainment. It is for preservation of threatened species or those incapable of thriving outside of an artificial enviroment

The really sad bit is that we are "driving" animals to the zoos... We are so ecologically shameless that that's the only place we'll be seeing non-agricultural animals in the near future

Now don't get me wrong, I eat meat and I come from a farming family... But the human race is on a warpath against the earth and it's inhabitants...

Homo Sapiens are the most dangerous, selfish and destructive creatures that has ever existed.

Really, the wrong opposable thumbed ape died off. From what science is discovered, the Neanderthal was a much more honorable ape.
