May I ask why? I suppose the answer is "why not?", isn't it? :-)

- potatolicious 18y agoBecause most zoos I have been to belong to one of these two categories: - Unbelievably boring places with not enough fun and way too much education. You bring your kids to the zoo so they can learn something, not so some boring guide and put them to sleep with stuff that would probably put a zoology professor off. - Shamelessly profit minded. SeaWorld, I'm looking at you. Blatant animal abuse for the "entertainment" of the masses - come see our lazy, fat animals roam about ready to expire at a moment's notice, but feel free to buy more overpriced feed so you can keep stuffing their gullets! What? Educational factor? Whuzzat? Maybe I wouldn't create a zoo if I were rich, but it wouldn't be a waste of time. The world desperately needs zoos and aquariums that are able to educate as well as entertain.
- donw 18y agoDo a theme park based entirely on feeding geese, and then sell their livers off for a (pardon the pun) fat profit.
- thomasmallen 18y agoBecause I care a great deal about conservation but am unwilling to put in the many years of education required to become a zoologist. I think that I could run a zoo effectively and compassionately, showing the public these majestic, exotic animals that are at such great risk while doing my best to return their species to viability. Isn't that what zoos are all about?
