I gotta say I'm starting to feel bad about animals in zoo cages now. Even if they have an area to walk around it, its just kinda depressing.

I think safaris are better because you go to their home and while you are intruding, at least they have their own large savanna to live their life in.

yes and no. Depends where.

In some places they're safe from being hunted and poached at the very least. I'm under the impression that legit zoos and shelters have the right intentions, but fighting an uphill battle sometimes due to limitations like natural habitat recreations, and solving stress and other psychological matters like when they can't get a virtually-extinct species to mate anymore.

There are some zoos that try to be more natural. Animals live in massive cages the size of fields. And people drive though and see the animals on the other side of a fence. I only know of 2

Northwest Trek in WA state. And there is another in Alaska

Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center

But.....

There is a big difference between a cage and an enclosure

Like saying a bicycle and Bagger 288 are both vehicles

You're hyperliterally right but completely wrong in point

When I was a little kid, my shoe fell into the Crab-Eating Macaques enclosure.

The little fuckers fought over it for 5 mins and then the winner ate it.

Did you yell "No macaque!" while they were doing it?

Nah. Took my kids to the zoo a few weeks ago.

My son was like dad dad those monkeys look hungry. You should GIVE THEM YOUR SHOES. Like, he screamed that last bit and pretty much fell over laughing at his own joke.

Should never have told them the story.

Reddit is so obnoxious when it comes to these videos. Always "zoos are cruel!" "they don't belong in zoos!" blah blah but how are people supposed to make human connections with animals without zoos? Of course when I question that, I get downvoted.

The elephant is missing half of one of his tusks. So there is a reason he is living in an enclosure and not in the wild.

Yes, destroy all zoos, let vulnerable animals stay in the wild where they can get poached and go extinct.

Not.

Don't let poachers get away with it. Set some examples, put some actual resources into preventing it, and it won't be a problem.

Zoos might seem cruel at first glance, but ultimately an animal in captivity will live significantly longer than one in the wild. And zoos with proper management and care practices are more about conservation, education, and awareness than they are about "ha ha funny animal."

Zoos and circuses are not the same. Private zoos with substandard habitats and lax care standards are the real problem.
