I support zoos, but I don't like menageries. There is a difference. I don't like circuses either.

Yes. Yes I do. Even though I hate going to the local one... The Cinnabon shop gives me a headache as I walk from Macy's Home to Williams-Sonoma. Oh you said Zoo. I thought you meant Malls.

No. I have nothing wrong with the idea but the ones around here are always filled with public school youth run amok on "field trips" that consist of unmonitored street urchins running around yelling.

Where are your kids going to safely see Tigers, Lions and Bears? What about Penguins, Puffins and Peacocks? After all I'm sure they are all native to Florida? |

There are some zoos that seem like they shouldn't exist. There are however a lot of them that do a lot for conservation both in and outside of their confines.

Depends on the purpose of the zoo.
I'm sure some zoos could be just exploiting animals in someones profit venture. Others offer conservation and educational opportunities. |

support - yes, financially (but not voluntarily). our local zoo has evolved into a money-sucking black hole of taxpayer-subsidized ridiculousness. |

Yes, and Zoos support conservation. At least, my local Zoos are real involved with that.

Zoos are keeping a lot of species from extinction.
They're called sanctuaries for a reason. |

We can just have them look them up on the internet instead of wasting our own time with our own children in a fun & educational setting. IMHO kids spend far too much time outside in the real world when they could be surfing the web. |

Yes for the ones dealing with conservation. It can be bad having all known breeding animals from a population living in one area. It's the "putting all of your eggs in one basket" scenario. Having genetic samples outside the area can help should there be a disaster, disease, or other problems. Its happened in the past where the zoo kept animals actually helped reintroduce a virtually extinct species to the wild.

Zoos that keep animals from becoming extinct etc. I'm all for. Zoos where we cage animals for nothing but our selfish pleasures should be abolished. With the technology we have today, the special snowflakes can just watch animals on film.

Yes.
1) Life in the wild ain't no picnic. Animals live fast and die young. 2) Zoos can be an important reserve of genetic material for endangered species. PETA hippies can FOAD. |

I CC with extra mags when I go to the zoo hoping something gets out and threatens everyone so I can put it down. It is likely to be the closest to African game hunting I'll get to. So far, I've been unable to successfully harvest an animal. I'd really like to get a kudu to mount and hang in the great room. Maybe a big car of some sort for a rug. I've made a bunch of little rugs out of the local barn cats and set them next to each other in the living room, but it's just not the same look as a tiger or cheeta floor rug centerpiece.

We have a yearly pass, so I guess yes we do.
