This is great. Except for most of the "wild" is gone! So when the habitate is gone, should the entire species be gone too?
I don't like caged animales either but if it IS a way to save a species from extinction, perhaps some generation after ours will have more sense and be able to put them back into the wild again. Kinda like the return of the timber wolf to Yellowstone.
That's my hope. In the meantime, let the caged ones act as ambassadores for their kind and teach kids. They are the future.
