All zoos should be abolished.
Just set aside a bunch of land like Yellowstone and let the animals be free.
I vote for whatever land adjoins your backyard.
That doesn’t work worth a damn. You go to Yellowstone and watch idiots getting in the grill of elk, buffalo, and bears and then get in the news because they are stupid. Then they put an animal down because of it. Play with snakes you get bitten sometimes. Tough horse apples. Suck it up buttercup. Is what I think of zoo mishaps. Actually I kinda feel that way about Yellowstone too. I hunt elk, I live in bear country. You gotta pay attention and it’s your risk. A person can always stay home.
I’m in favor of free animals too. Heartbreaking to see them in cages.
I won’t even go to local Petco because they sell lizards and goldfish. Lizards are adorable, had one outside my house in Florida who apparently liked me. Friend said he was flirting,
