      <![CDATA[@15,<br />
Yeah, and like I said, it depends on the zoo. If they lock animals up in small cages that's bad. If they give them large, rich environments, that's good.<br />
<br />
But people who say ALL zoos are cages, even the zoos that are great at animal rescue and preservation and treat their animals well, those people had better not have pets of their own because if they do, they're hypocrites. An animal held against its will is the same, whether it's in a zoo or in a home. People who think their pets love them and are free should try leaving the door open and let their pet decide for itself what it wants. I guarantee those people would never, NEVER, actually allow their pet to choose.

      <![CDATA[Zoos depress the livin hell outta me. I hate seeing animals in cages, even the outdoor cages, with the exception of the vast habitat type "animal parks". However, I am totally in favor of zoos other major missions: species preservation and education. I like the idea of zoos, I just cant go to them.

      <![CDATA[Woodland Park Zoo is an amazing establishment with good, humane exhibits and a focus on education and conservation rather than theatrics. The only problems come from animals that are inherently problematic to keep in captivity -- elephants come to mind.<br />
<br />
There are plenty of awful zoos out there that don't take care of their animals -- Seattle is lucky enough to have one that shines across the board.

      <![CDATA[Totally depends on the zoo. If they take good care of the animals and give them plenty of space and privacy, then I've got no problem with them.<br />
<br />
What I dislike are people who piss on zoos but have pets. It's like saying, "animals shouldn't be available for all to enjoy, animals should only be available for ME to enjoy."

      <![CDATA[I love well-funded, well-staffed open habitat zoos. I can't speak to yours, but we've got a really happy one here in Columbia, SC. Even the African elephants, just about the most difficult species among our animal friends to keep happy in a cultivated garden, seem reasonably content.
