Anonymous asked: i don't really understand why you would be pro-zoo. like i understand nature reserves and sanctuaries where people can observe from afar, but it doesn't seem right to me when they're locked up in generally small confined areas for people to watch them do nothing all day. idk maybe i'm getting this wrong, and i still really respect you, i just don't understand this. like i interned at a zoo and felt uncomfortable with how small their living areas were and how they had no stimulation
Zoos don’t look like this anymore.
They look like this:
Good zoos do not keep their animals in “tiny spaces” with no enrichment. I’m not pro-roadside zoo. I’m pro-accredited zoo. Zoos are incredibly important for conservation and education.
Zoos generate millions for conservation, educate the public, endear children to biodiversity, breed and preserve many rare organisms and conduct research that helps us understand and protect other species. Many major zoos are run by people who truly love animals and want them to thrive.
Don’t confuse them with theme parks like Seaworld.
Zoos can also provide homes for animals that have been harmed and are unable to live in the wild any more.
Some zoos also provide a safe haven for critically endangered animals, like rhinos, so that poachers don’t kill the few that are left…
THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ME

Takhi are great and I love going to see them at zoos, but I do wish the zoos I’ve seen them at would stop keeping them...
