I'm curious what is everyones view on captivity?

Personally any wild animal, a species that unlike dogs and cats has not evolved to live with us should stay wild. Most wild animals die early anyway and captive breeding often doesn't help the wild populations because the animals are kept in captivity. Think of those huge whales who were almost gone yet because people worked hard to improve probelms in the wild the numbers have gone up. I ask you how many of these whales are in captivity?

I have no probelm with animal sanctuaries who rescue animals and let them live without further exploitation.
