Buenos Aires zoo to close after 140 years: 'Captivity is degrading'

[Citrus]

1. If only...

I have serious reservations about this new "nature reserve". All too often they're just feel-good changes that actually do little or nothing for the beings trapped in the madness.

If all the zoos, aquaria and other captive animal sites would close and rehab the animals back to the wild, humans would be on a better path. (The vast majority of captives can be rehabbed back to the wild and the few who can't, could certainly be afforded massive, natural habitats and decent care without being objectified.)
