This is awful for those animals. People who love and care for animals don't do this to them.

Would you like to read the paper I wrote last semester about why zoos are a net positive for conservation? Or maybe you can go to the website I linked and see all the good that they do in using animal ambassadors- to educate the public and raise funds for conservation efforts- who would never be able to survive in the wild (because they were injured or bred in captivity or seized as illegal pets)? I keep snakes that I’ve rescued, should I release them into the New England winter?

Right here is here is where you are showing a lack of understanding.

But sure! I'll read your paper.
