Why Zoos Should Not Be Banned?

Because the zoo mayors told the silly government that if they banned their zoo, the silly-billy henchman would rip their ickle little arms out of their cute little shoulder bones.

Zoos allow us to see animals we would never otherwise see because we don't have the money for world travel, certain animals are too reclusive to chance upon, certain animals are too dangerous to get anywhere near in the wild, etc.

Animals we see, we are more likely to appreciate and want to help. Many zoos educate visitors on the animals as well as how they can help conservation efforts. Many zoos also have, or contribute to, programs for helping these animals, so part of the money you pay to get in (admission) goes to help animal conservation efforts.
