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.

There's something magical about a sprinkling of snow on Christmas 😊 And heavy enough snow means snow angels, snowmen, and snowball fights! ❄️

The older I get - since I don't ski any more - snow just represents work for me, so if I never saw another snow flake, it would be just fine with me!

If they ever made one that could go longer distances. I have seen only 1 recharging station for such cars at Fred Meyer. To make them attractive, need many more recharging stations. Until then, no thx

We have an EV for local & shorter range trips (have gone to Vancourver, WA & Eugene, OR) and a Hybrid for longer range trips. Electricity is $10/month, and nothing once we have PV. No maintenance cost

Government is already controlling you when you drive. Ever stop at a stoplight? That's some university indoctrinated bureaucrat deciding how long you will be made to sit there and wait for his little technocracy to "turn the light green" so you can go.

I recently traveled over 1800 miles by car I cannot imagine how much longer that trip would have taken because of the limited miles that it takes for an EV

The answer itself is explanatory enough. It's too expensive. Yet the charging situation isn't set up to be a reasonable solution. This is because the industry is totally out for reoccurring profits to charge for such electric vehicles. You can blame commercialism for this greed.

Although it’s environmentally friendly, it is far too expensive. Perhaps in the future when corporations become competitive in this area and sell vehicles at cheaper prices.

We were fortunate to buy an EV new with substantial discounts and rebates, credits. $16K for a $34K new car. I don't think it's too expensive.
