Big Zoos, yes. And they do some great research, as well as preservation and rehabilitation. But I've also been to a few small zoos in rural America that are essentially someone's private animal collection that they charge you a fee to see. I think those are less common than they used to be, but they do exist.
- theultdev 2y agoI don't think those can be considered zoos from your description. And maybe stop going to them (you went to a few?) and they will become even less common. Never seen one of those, but there's plenty of private animal habitats I've seen that take injured and stray animals. Usually just ran/funded by someone who loves animals.
- daveslash 2y agoI went there as a kid. One visit was actually a school field trip. I have not been to one in nearly 30 years. And I should have more clearly said that I've only actually been to one, but have seen others while traveling. That was my mistake in saying that I've been to a few.
