When I was last time in Zoo some time ago (before that I was in Zoo when I was a little boy), I felt the great pity for the beasts and animals. If I could, I would cancel this terrible attraction around the world.
What do you thing about it?

I am very sad to see animals that are supposed to be in the wild, they are cooped up in a cage. The public assume that the animals at the Zoo in Basel or in protecting one of his, but the fact they are there only for the means of entertainment for the visitors or the means to make profits.

I think there are some zoos that are just out for profit, but I don't think that's the most common thing. I feel like a lot of zoos really want to help the animals. A lot of the animals in zoos would not be able to adapt to the wild, if they were released. What would the alternative be, if you closed the zoos? To just kill those animals? To not allow them to reproduce? I like to think of animals in zoos as ambassadors. They represent their species to humans. Otherwise, we would probably never meet most of them.
