Reply to comment by citytiger in It's a Girl! Dallas Zoo Welcomes New Baby Warthog by citytiger

I went to a zoo in Texas, and there were bears in cement enclosures that just paced back and forth and back and forth. It looked awful. I think animals ought to be wild. That same zoo had a single hyena in an enclosure, which I can only relate to solitary confinement. Once you see zoos like that, they all seem like prisons for animals.

Ok great you saw a shitty zoo. Well done. Now please visit one that isn't shit and acknowledge that certified, accredited zoos provide animals with happy lives while playing an important role in preserving endangered species.

I recommend the Omaha Zoo or Disney's Animal Kingdom.
