While I do not like the idea of animals being held captive, I have to admit that I love zoos and I'd much rather see an animal living in a zoo than be hunted to extinction. My mom and I use to go the Cincinnati Zoo every summer from when I was toddler until I moved to Texas. Mom believes that zoos teach children to respect and appreciate animals and maybe one day those children will grow up and not be as ignorant as their parents. Those were some of my most favorite days.

I really want to go the zoo. We have a nice little zoo here, maybe I will go this weekend.
