The pictures say it all. It is sad to think if we don't change our practices, zoos will be the only place to see these animals because they will be gone in the wild.
I don't believe all zoos are inhumane, but sadly many are substandard in their treatment of animals and give the rest a bad name. There are some excellent zoos which have important conservation, endangered species breeding and education programs and provide healthy habitats and enrichment for their animals. The day I shot this video I just wanted to spend some time with the animals at the Portland Zoo. I was sadly surprised at what I saw.
