Uuuugh I am SO tired of people preaching animal welfare and raging about zoos when they no FUCKALL about either!!
As stated in the last few comments, this is and EXCELLENT way of providing enrichment and entertaining THE ANIMALS while EDUCATING the visitors, which is what zoos are all about!
Zoos prevent extinction. This is why I support zoos. This is why the world should support zoos.

i don't really understand why you would be pro-zoo. like i understand nature reserves and sanctuaries where people can observe from afar, but it doesn't seem right to me when they're locked up in generally small confined areas for people to watch them do nothing all day. idk maybe i'm getting this wrong, and i still really respect you, i just don't understand this. like i interned at a zoo and felt uncomfortable with how small their living areas were and how they had no stimulation

They look like this:
Good zoos do not keep their animals in “tiny spaces” with no enrichment. I’m not pro-roadside zoo. I’m pro-accredited zoo. Zoos are incredibly important for conservation and education.
