I’ve been thinking about zoos this week. Have you been to one recently? If so, what did you think? Ethically, I mean.
Zoos are “wicked problems” (complex problems that seem impossible to solve). Even the good zoos.
Good zoos have long prioritized species conservation over individual liberty—“captivity for conservation,” aka the “Noah’s Ark paradigm” (Keulartz 2015). And their conservation contributions are well established.
