Strongly disagree. Bad zoos are depressing. Good zoos can be amazing. Yes, popping down to the Memphis Zoo for a few hours gives me and my family great joy. The animals are not free to roam the plains, but they are free from constant predation. More importantly, Zoos can be wonderful cultural centers, animal research, preservers of at risk species, educational and environmental education, on and on. Does it really seem that weird? HOWEVER, Memphis Zoo smells like… a zoo… and hard pass on that for a work day.
