Animals don't belong in Zoo's, Circuses, or any other attraction......UNLESS, they are NOT able to survive on their own. Stop going out into the Jungles and capturing these animals for your own wealth!! Look at the Orcas??? Let them be!!! Oh we are so greedy!!

Very sad news.  On the other note - much as I'm not a fan of animals in zoo's - they are being slaughtered at an alarming rate and it's expected within 10 years there will be no big game left in the wild.  There are too many people on the planet and they kill these animals to eat or to make money off of selling them to idiots with money that think big game horns or body parts will enable them to have yet more children.  

Zoo's today are much better than they used to be and many of them are changing their layouts to give the animals a better way of life.  Maybe I'm being selfish about it but I don't want to live in a world without giraffe's, gorillas, monkeys, rhinos, elephants, etc.
