Better to think of zoos as genetic arks, saving species by studying them. Zoos all over the world share data without regard for boundaries, more concerned that their animals can be healthy, and if possible, support their wild cousins by educating people about what they need to survive.

Saving species that we endangered, solely for our own benefit.

Ok? So we shouldn't try to fix the issue we caused?
Disregard, just saw your other angry asshat comment, happy holidays everybody!

That person deserved the asshole comment for being an asshole.
Anyway no we shouldn’t because it can’t be fixed, and because the attempt causes a ton of harm.
Happy holidays to the new Pygmy Hippo, it’s all downhill from here!
