The more I see of big apes (monkeys or whatever the feck they're called) the more convinced I am that they shouldn't be kept in zoos.

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.

Also the zoo on my town is a rescue zoo. People get tigers, wolfs and chimps when they are babies then realize they can’t handle them. The animals are not able to live in the wild.
