We debated this in our household years ago. Seeing live animals like orcas and dolphins and elephants etc.. gives children an appreciation of those species they can't get any other way. To see them is extremely important to understanding why they should be protected.
Is it better to not be able to see them for yourselves live - the enormity and grace - or just not learn about them at all. Having sea world and zoos and circuses benefit the cause for conservation.

- asciimo 10y agoYes, it is important to understand the awesome beauty of nature and why we should protect it. Ironically, you would be harming these animals by supporting the institutions that enslave them. There are many ways to learn about subjects without observing them first-hand, especially these days with immersive media technology. Alternatively, there are sanctuaries that exist primarily for the well-being of the animals, though they may take some effort to discover and visit.

I do not agree that vr or any other form has the same effect and affect as seeing and touching these love creatures. Zoos etc teach and discovery is personal ( not like a video or lecture)
