    Zoos serve a purpose it lets the public see the animals. And yes that has a positive benefit. If people don’t see them they don’t care about them.

        Zoos are the reason many species survive today. Conservation, breeding, and awareness programs and the such have saved species of every type on every continent.

            OK, please do that, then we can talk about shutting down zoos. When do you expect to be done with your little project?

            We can. Be honest, I estimate the odds of such a vote passing at roughly 0%. Most people just don’t care. To get them to care, you’d have to have an organisation handling awareness and outreach and… oh look, we’ve got a zoo.
