    Ive never met anyone who is anti zoo that actually has any experience in animal conservation or wildlife rehabilitation.

    I think of it as the armchair psychology of the biology world, given the near 1:1 comparisons between the two.

      Exactly. When people here zoo, they usually picture something between the Tiger King and Sea World.

      When in reality, it’s closer to a medical research center for animals.
