There was a really good Radiolab over the summer about the dude who revolutionized zoos in America, making the animal's cages less concrete and bars and more natural feeling.

It's pretty depressing.
Standard zoos aren't nearly as depressing as Sea World type places with killer whales & dolphins and things. That makes me sad.
Yeah, this is true. I always wonder if the penguins there are taken care of by people who are as well suited to do so as they are when they're in a zoo or an aquarium.

(I spend a lot of time thinking about penguins. I'm not gonna lie...)

A lot of zoos do spectacular conservation work, and various species wouldn't be still going without them. But too many zoos leave a lot to be desired.

When I worked for Disney, I was directly involved with their animals, and it was amazing how far they went to make things authentic and comfortable for the animals (and the people).

With all this zoo talk, this thread is really missing something.

You're a good sport, man. Thanks for humoring me while I wait for this record in complete selfish frustration.

It counts for a lot, long-term. But it's probably not immediately pertinent.
