even zoos that are trying to save a species and introducing them back into the wild fail miserably

Zoo animals hardly ever return to the wild because the reintroduction process never works, the animal transport process fails, and the animals are exposed to disease and chemicals because of the confinement. Animals come and go at zoos, but seldom return to the wild. Reintroduction programs rarely work because captive animals no longer possess the skills for survival.

Except for one sucessful program in Idaho re introducing wolves to the wild. And the orangutan programs here and there.  I havent seen much sucess.

Im much more for saving habitat and protecting animals natural enviroment than I am zoos.

If people want to see a caged animal pacing around thats up to them but me personally Im not interested.

The animals arent happy obviously  because every time an animal escapes from the zoo they go after the first human they can find.  

A conservative believes nothing should be done for the first time
