You do understand this is only existence these animals know? Many zoos are actively engaged it habitat restoration and species preservation. The Omaha Zoo is one of the best in the world for that.

Like I said I have No problem with the animals they already have as long as they have a adequate habitat. I mean how long did it take zoos to realize that elephants need room to roam? There is no need to breed while in captivity other than to make money. And I hope I’m wrong on this one but they usually sell the baby to another zoo. I’ll never see a baby being born in captivity as uplifting news.

And what good does that do if they have to spend their lives in captivity? I doesn’t help wild animals by breeding them in captivity. Unless you are releasing them back into the wild. And they are not doing that.
