i don't really understand why you would be pro-zoo. like i understand nature reserves and sanctuaries where people can observe from afar, but it doesn't seem right to me when they're locked up in generally small confined areas for people to watch them do nothing all day. idk maybe i'm getting this wrong, and i still really respect you, i just don't understand this. like i interned at a zoo and felt uncomfortable with how small their living areas were and how they had no stimulation

Good zoos do not keep their animals in “tiny spaces” with no enrichment.  I’m not pro-roadside zoo.  I’m pro-accredited zoo.  Zoos are incredibly important for conservation and education.

Zoos generate millions for conservation, educate the public, endear children to biodiversity, breed and preserve many rare organisms and conduct research that helps us understand and protect other species. Many major zoos are run by people who truly love animals and want them to thrive.

Don’t confuse them with theme parks like Seaworld.

    A lot of zoos are doing good work. If you’re worried about a zoo or facility being legit, see if they’re accredited....
