Some people argue that we need zoos because that's the only way some species are kept alive. I say, lets put all the humans in cages for a while and see how we like that perspective.

But seriously, the energy put into zoos would be better spent providing natural habitat. Habitat in an animal's natural region is best but one of the things I like about this elephant sanctuary in TN:

http://www.elephants.com/

is that the sanctuary is quite large and a great deal of effort is put into making it feel natural to the elephants and they are not put on display. Supporters like myself do not have the option to visit the elephants and that makes sense.
