Durrell added—I wish all those protesting to animals living in zoos and claiming animals lead far happier lives in the wild—I wish they all saw this!
I agree we shouldn’t assume that animals lead far happier lives in the wild; but I don’t think that means we should support zoos (which unlike sanctuaries exist for the benefit of humans rather than the benefit of the animals, and typically rely on breeding animals).
