Zoos breed endangered species as part of a program to save that species and return them to the wild.
There is a grandson on a Toronto Orangutan living in the wild.
The Prezwalskis Horses were saved from extinction by zoos.
Zoos and Sea World are two different things. (different like the difference between a petting zoo and a fur farm)
I am glad that Sea World is getting out of the Orca business. It is odd that keepers are against them doing it. Orcas need our help in the wild, but we can't give them what they need in captivity.
While we may be able to see the difference, the extremists do not. There are many, many voices out there calling for the end of zoos. In all the media about Sea World the past week there has always been comments "Zoos next".
