If humans don’t actively seek preserve nature, we will passively destroy it.
It’s not great to have elephants in captivity. Or whales or any of the other large animals. (Some do much better in captivity though)
It’s just if we want to preserve these animals, we need to have kids care about them.
Zoos take care of unreleasable animals, and they share nature to kids who would otherwise never see it. Those are the people and ideas who save these animals.
Yes. Not good. Better than death for an unreleasable animal. Better than extinction for the animal that does end up in a zoo to help that child make decisions that will save that species.
Agree, but disagree.
Some animals cannot be returned to the wild.
