I am giving it 5 stars because the animals seemed happier there than any other zoo I ve been to. Honestly, I was forced to go- I m trying to be objective. The concept of a zoo is a bit problematic because it s animals in captivity- any of the animals that aren t kept for conservation purposes/ aren t endangered (that are fine in their natural habitat and are just there for our viewing pleasure) seems a bit ethically unsound. Also, gentle reminder that animal sanctuaries exist! If you re passionate about animals, there are plenty to volunteer at or donate your money to. I m sure the zoo donates a percentage, but why not be more direct?
