      Are the modern standards, that they just educate without imprisoning animals? If not, then no.

          They don’t benefit from an environment designed to put them on display rather than designed to be correct for them either

              Their natural habitats don’t include having them put on display. I know people love zoos but there’s just no arguing with that. And there’s tons of research that supports that being on display causes animals anxiety. You can do wildlife preservation without exposing the animals to the public, I don’t get why that’s so controversial.

          Personally I would rather die then be exploited and held without any regards to my well being, so I think they feel the same

              Ah, so you are an animal? or can you talk to them? What makes you think that you know?

              Honestly, they are capable of suffering and we just accept them suffering, its at least morally wrong. But as soon as you criticize the lifestyle you get the conservative ones wanting everything to stay like it was, no surprise here

                  I just dont think survival justifies keeping them in captivity. Why would it? What dies that gain the species?

                  Also most animals in Zoos arent even endangered, so maybe stop defending keeping animals as attractions, that was already weird when we were doing that with humans …
