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

See how you’re taking your own preference and assuming that for other creatures?
I work from the assumption that everyone prefers, and deserves, freedom. Also, observation has proved it to me beyond a doubt. Aside from 70 some million of my countrymen and women.
That’s pretty rhetoric, but what does ‘freedom’ actually mean here? Does a cockroach care that it’s in a 100 gallon glass tank or a dumpster in a city? It’s easy to espouse ‘freedom’ but are you really suggesting feral cats are living better, happier lives than housecats?
As you point out, even theoretically intelligent humans are perfectly happy to throw ‘freedom’ out the window for all kinds of reasons. This black and white attitude is just naive.
Back at you supporting zoos.
