Good news: Sea World to end orca breeding

[Catherine]

I hear the remarks against zoos. People have little understanding of what zoos actually do.

Our zoo has many animals that are not on display. They are part of breeding programs that really are bringing species back from extinction and restoring the ecological balance of some ecosystems.

Extremists everywhere, for any cause are quite simply, extremists. They take thing out of balance. They often do good things because they support good causes, but they also do damage because their thinking is not balanced.

I don't remember the details, but extremists that were against a fur farm, quite simply, broke in and released the mink.
The mink were not local animals and they were in numbers too large for the area anyhow. The results were disastrous for local wildlife.  They wanted to save life and they ended up destroying more than they saved.
