I don't know what to think of this... its good that they are not just throwin em out I guess. The 2 Sea lions come to mind that they nursed back to health after the Valdese oil spill The ones the Orca got 10 minutes after they were released in front of the whole town...
But the idea of no Zoos at all conflicts me...

Not a big fan of zoos.
I’d like to see a human zoo though, with part time exhibits.

They won’t be able to make it on their own. They’re like welfare recepients.

No problem with this if they plan to open large sanctuary’s were the animals can free range WITHOUT gobbling each other up. While that is life on the Serengeti, most of these animals were probably born in captivity and didn’t learn the life of hard knocks from their mothers in a natural setting. Call me a softy if you must.

pretty much my thoughts... living in a cage they never learned survival of the fittest. what did comfort me a bit was the Ten year phase out they mentioned..

Kruger National Park in South Africa, and Yellowstone here in the U.S. are excellent compromises. Give the wild animals thousands of square miles where they can live on their own, but at least cordoned it off so they won't go into the urban areas.
I hate zoos. They stink, it's unnatural.

they don’t ban for comments like that here anymore? lol

Its simply a sign of the times. Zoos are a product of the 19th century - allow the common man to view exotic animals they could never hope to see live or dead.
Now people travel everywhere and can watch on-demand videos of anything. An animal in a cage is viewed as simply BORING, or for the SJW’s among us, that is transmuted into a form of cruelty
I believe museums will die off also. Why are they needed when the masses have 1000 ways to see new things and entertain themselves on the internet and elsewhere?

Glad if they are not just setting the animals “free” since many have been captive so long they would likely be quickly overtaken by predators!
If anything they should stop animal breeding in zoos and stop taking new animals and combine zoos as animals in captivity dwindle due to age and such, closing the unneeded zoo facilities.
