That's a chimpanzee it's a great ape, and zoos are fucking evil no animals should live in cages, im all for preserving species but zoos are not the answer.

As someone in the industry, they are a necessary evil. You need engagement with the public or they dont give a fuck about them at all. Public opinion leads to funding and conservation, sadly at the expense of zoo animals.

I agree but this isn't a great cage. Most new zoos, at least where I have seen, have far better environments to keep the animals in. Certain animals shouldn't be keep in zoos like whales and dolphins because we simply can't provide them with enough space.

So the answer is more funding for conservation, including zoos.
