No, because before zoos we were mindlessly killing the animals. However, I feel like there needs to more rules and guidelines to protecting them.

Because most are not cruel and the majority only want to help the species that are endangered and by making zoos you’re also making a species less endangered

Not all species that reside in zoos are endangered though. And a lot of zoos are reported and are seen to enforce mistreatment of animals by puting them in inadequate condtions

Many zoos are in the industry of preserving and breeding endangered species where the zoo part is for the project’s funding.

The majority of zoos rescue the injured animals and when the animal is healthy the zoo will decide to have these animals stay if they don’t believe it will be able to live on its own.

Many zoos help animal species and prevents poachers from killing off many threatened species. Although, I do agree if a zoo is caught abusing its animals the zoo should be changed or closed down.

There are many zoos that are really amazing to animals and really care. There is not enough bad ones to shut all of them down

Zoos often take in endangered animals or rescue animals that have been hurt in the wild. Many zoos also donate the money they earn to keep animals safe out in the wild.

Yes there can be bad zoos and aquariums, but you can not say ALL of them are bad! The zoos and aquariums I have been to treat there animals amazingly! Positive reinforcement, not negative punishment.

It is cruel and inhumane. I can’t believe this is still a thing. People get reprimanded for dog and cat abuse, but the law has nothing about this. It is just as bad. It doesn’t make it hurt less.

Animals are like people, they want freedom. I prefer Safari over Zoo

They should be where they belong and with their families. They are meant to be free and happy.

Because poor animals could be out in the wild having better things to do instead of be stuck in a cage. I know obviously people would like to see animals at a zoo but animals should be free from cages

Zoos are places that keep animals in captivity for their whole lives. I know that if I were in their position, I would want to live in freedom, not in an enclosure.

Animals don’t want to be in cages, and people are forcing them to be exposed. It is better than a petting zoo, but it is still horrible.

I do but I go rounds w/ my guy. Ever since China stopped taking our recycling he stopped doing it. Idk if all that is real, I have noticed that our garbage guy just loads both cans into the same dump bin & it’s not sorted. So that’s really disturbing. Every little bit helps I feel. I rec. everything

I do what I can but live in an area where they don't have it. Still I save bottles and cardboard to take to recycling. I cook from scratch so don't really have cans.

We pay by the pound for certain items so why not pay less and recycle - it's the right thing to do for me and the environment.

Although I can only hope that it's useful because there is no proof that what is supposedly sent to the recyclers they actually carry through. You always hear about it not being done.

We take our own garbage to the dump and pay by the pound. Recycling is free so the more we recycle the less we have to pay.

We recycle everything possible. We also take cloth bags shopping, use insulated bag with blue ice for cold items & take reusable containers to restaurants for leftovers to take home.

It's not bogus I just do not have a place to drop it off in my area - if it's not close by I'm lazy and won't go out of my way (I'm a sad case).

I've been only shopping online for years. I feel badly for store retailers, but it's just more convenient to shop online. Going into a retail store nowadays is like visiting a ghost town. There's never anyone there.
