    I Think that today, the main reason, besides for entertainment, and learning, zoos play a most important roll in Saving the Endangered animals, with their breeding programs, so Yes, i would have to say that I agree with animals in Zoos.

    I agree with Maggie,
    the breeding programs for re introduction in the wild, and also for simply re establishing endangered animals is too important to ignore.

    With many many zoos now changing the enclosures and exhibits to better suit habitats and needs, it is nothing like 20 years ago when all you saw were concrete and bars.

    i voted yes.

    Well, kittygurl, I don't think znimals belong in cages.

    We have an award winning zoo here, and the animals are in natural habitats. They have plenty of grass and trees, can hide from viewers without going inside some concrete hole to a little cave area. They also do have inside places to go. They can get up to a full gallop / run which they all seem to do if a sea gull happens to land in the habitat. ha ha.

    And I also recognize that the breeding programs are helping restore endangered species populations, even in the wild, through the release programs.

    So I voted mixed.
