I thik a lot of zoos...at least in this area are doing a better job of creating more habitat like settings for their animals. yes, they are still caged and that is sad, but the displays are getting better, to where they aren't in tiny wire cages. I also think zoos play an important role in the preservation of animals. we as humans are horrible for hunting and killing species and many would be extinct for no other reason then the value of the ivory, or their skin. I think keeping some animals in protective areas with knowledge of breeding and such is valuable. Wouldn't be great if animals could just exsist in the open and no one would tear out their habitat to build a mall, or hunt them, but until humans are gone it isn't going to happen.
