Go visit Chester Zoo, where the enclosures are so big that you often can’t see the animals. It’s deliberate, they want their animals to be able to hide.
Both zoos in Berlin are a fucking disgrace, though.

Zoos make me extremely sad. I understand the human zoo is another level of fucked up, but I do wonder if we will ever progress to the point where animals in tiny enclosures for our amusement is also some historical blemish on our species.

I have mixed feelings about zoos. The ones with tiny cages made just for ogling at animals just should not be allowed to exist. The ones which exist to support conservation, research, and educational efforts (and thereby go to lengths to ensure the animals are treated well) I think have a reasonable place in a reasonable society. Although, a reasonable society wouldn’t be creating the conditions which make conservation efforts necessary, but here we are.
