Kinda split by this .
Don't agree with keeping animals captive but if they are endangered then maybe we have no choice.

I'd let most of the animals out and back where they belong.

I don’t mind safari parks if they’ve a bit of room to roam about but I wouldn’t visit a zoo but then I’ve got a pet gecko so am probably a bit of a hypocrite there.

Read this if you can Buc. Heartbreaking. What kind of person would go to a zoo? Disgusting, there is no argument

Not sure if this has happened as yet but if I remember correctly the Scottish government were going to reintroduce Wolves and Brown  bears back into the Cairngorms they became extinct during the 1700s .
As another booster for the tourism industry.

I'd love them to reintroduce such animals, Buc.

What's your take on visiting zoos?  You seem a principled man when it comes to animal welfare and I'd factor your opinion into my considerations.

Do you think it is acceptable to have wild animals in cages so we can stare at them ?

A lot safer for us when they’re in a cage.
