Zoos are archaic and barbaric anyway. There’s no need for them anymore. Kids can learn about the animals through multimedia, without any need to sentence some poor animal to jail for life.

Zoo’s are cool and they perform a function. Not everything should be learned and seen on a screen. If I had my way, very little would be learned on a screen when it can be experienced.

You can watch people go camping too, but it’s nothing at all like the real thing. The pitter patter of rain on your tent, struggling to find the comfort sweet spot on the air mattress, waking up early and seeing the dew burning off the ground and thanking God your tent didn’t leak. (or trying to figure out why after ten years of dry, your tent leaked like a sieve) Walking down to the creek for some fresh water and the awesome smell of eggs and bacon on the campstove.

Can’t get none of that on a screen.
