You clearly have no understanding of what zoos do or how they operate.

Neither do you. If you truly believe its about conservation then take away all their profits and watch them change market then neglect the animals.

AZA zoos are non profit organizations

Fiona, that cake goes right to the hips. Never thought I'd say a hippo is cute, but she is. Happy Birthday Fiona !

Whew. When I read “beloved” I thought something horrible happened.

Yes! Take away the funding that allows them to care for the animals and THEN see how to care for the animals! Checkmate zoologists!
People actually think like this…

They wouldn't need care for if we stop pulling them from the wild for our own amusement.... checkmate.

So, working at the Omaha zoo, I can say that this isn't correct for here, which is an AZA accredited zoo. How we have gotten most if not all of our animals is through rehabilitation. For example, one of our giraffes has a stump back leg as well as a few other problems that would have cause her to die out in the wild. So, rather than having that happen, we give her a full life here where she will be alive.
