Thanks for your input. Of course I believe in trying to protect endangered species. I am not sure you need a zoo to do that and as you said they have a facility for doing that. I am not familiar with this zoo or their agenda by doing this. Do they breed rare animals for other zoos? Do they release these animals back into the wild? Each of these institutions must be judged on their own merits.
Good to hear your opinion!
