@@richardtaylor7327 animals are in captivity *are* provided a lot of space to run, as well as the correct nutrition and veterinary care. Obviously you’ve never been to a proper zoo. Animals don’t think the way we do, they don’t want to be “free” as long as they have proper food and mental stimulation they couldn’t care less. It’s more arrogant to think that all animals want to be dying of malnutrition out in the wild. I’m not saying all animals should be kept in captivity, but demonising all zoos and facilities based on a few bad ones is extremely ignorant. If you get worked up so much about this, you should take a look at how animals in the meat industry are typically treated, or how exotic lions and tigers are kept in tiny cages in peoples backgardens in America. That is what you should be focusing your efforts on, not zoos

@@richardtaylor7327 zoos aren’t bad. Your probably a PETA supporter that thinks they’re so righteous because they dislike zoos. If it wasn’t for captivity and specialised breeding programs by zoos many of the species we enjoy today would not even exist. And animals in zoos typically have much better and longer lives than those in the wild. They get veterinary care, a specialised diet and in the case of London zoo large naturalistic enclosures. Captivity isn’t ideal for most species especially intelligent ones like primates, but it’s often times necessary unless you want them to go completely extinct. Most birds and reptiles don’t seem to care if they are in captivity either as long as their enclosure resembles their natural habitat

@richardtaylor7327, third comment in thread: The London Zoo had zero chance of keeping the pangolin alive in captivity, due to the inability of containing the live ants the pangolin requires as its food source, and the Komodo Dragon could not be exported due to customs restrictions. The eight pangolin species are now critically endangered, and 195,000 are eaten for meat and butchered for scales each year, whilst the Komodo Dragon has less than 1400 adults remaining. Some animals had to be captured for display purposes, because this [Zoo Quest documentary] was [aired] before the internet, and audio-visual television broadcasting was still a new thing.

Wow, so amazed with your journey travelling all the way from UK to the dense jungle of Indonesia in the '50s. I could not imagine how hard was Sir David effort to penetrate the dense jungle of Borneo in that time, to study "orangutan" and met with local tribes that we call as the "Dayak". I was born in East Borneo, at the city of Balikpapan, the very gate of Borneo, a city that was driven by its natural resources in oil, gas, and coal. I can assure you that the jungle you saw in the '50s was totally different from now. Deforestation due to the coal exploitation beneath the jungle is very common in Borneo right now. And there is also palm oil plantation that suppresses the very existence of rain forest. Truth to be told, the coal exploitation and palm oil plantation contribute to a well-driven economy for Indonesia. There is no way denying that. This matter is just like a two-sided coin, that can never be together. Keeping Borneo green would mean to stop the economy running, at the other side to keep running the economy the jungle has to be exploited. Hard choice for the government and the locals.

Anyway to fire the question back to you, if apes were the power on Earth and you had an infected injury out in the wild, they could help, on one condition, that they take you half way across the world away from your family, to live in a cage where apes come daily to watch you. The Apes provide you with food, and a mating partner. You will remain there till you die and so will your children, Grandchildren and future generation. Are you in a roundabout way telling me you wouldn't need to think about it,yes is the only option, i would certainly say no, and take my chances out in the wild.
