While today's varies zoos and aquariums can never replace the inherired freedom for all the wild creatures on the planet, they can act as a lifeboat to counter the un-checked expansion of the human population that has invertently leds to the decrease in the animal's natural habitat seemingly forever. This habitat loss not only results in many of earth's species to dindle in numbers, but in many cases simply go extinct. So while there are as many opinions regarding the pros and cons of the real valve of the various animal parks, I hope their existence will minimally educate its human viewers that we all have an equal place in nature's plan and the next zoo or aquarium will where it belongs, truly wild.
