I don’t want to be convinced that Zoos are bad or something, I want the points that might make them bad and the general thought you have on other things like that, I asked here because I want it from a point of view from people who also see human exploitation as a bad thing yk.
All of the listed things are generating income from access to captive animals. They are inherently exploitative.
Would you pay to visit captive humans if the reason for their captivity was “they can’t survive on their own”, “it’s what’s best for them?” or “it’s for research”?
Animals sanctuaries that are doing their best and are not speciest can exist, but the animals are residents and are not displayed.
