I think zoos can be great if they're done properly. The animals need to be treated well. I know that some zoos treat animals poorly. It's hard to control, but I'm sure there are zoos with all the best intentions. A lot of zoos work to save animals that would otherwise die. It also gives us an opportunity to see animals up close and personal. It gives me more respect for them. An even better option is a rehabilitation center. I visited one in Namibia. It was so cool. They had lions and leopards and cheetah and monkeys. They were all living there temporarily, so they could be rehabilitated and released back into the wild in another place.
