Zoos are struggling as the sentiment against captive animals increases. Some are turning the zoos into information centres without animals.

    Keeping animals that have been bred into domestication over thousands of years is different than catching a wild animal and putting it in an enclosure. Corgies don’t wish they were out in the wild hunting deer, they want people to pet them. Tigers don’t want to be pet no matter how nice the magicians are.

      Exactly! The care that I provide my cats would be more akin to a nature preserve (i live in the woods in a rural area) versus a zoo.
