You are welcome! Thanks for reflecting on it!

Zoos are indeed museums – the collections of the past times (Basel Zoo is even a member of the Swiss Museums Association). But every window to the past (which had different moral measures than the present) always leaves an open question of when will it itself become morally unbearable. Just check what’s going on with art and ethnographic museums that acted like scavengers of colonial worlds’ treasures that do not belong to us. Humans seem to act like predators until it becomes unsustainable. The same way that nature controls the balance of predator numbers in nature, it is human nature that will have a final say on the predator practices of the civilization.

Some parts of this story are not so beautiful, are they? But the world is not black and white, every coin has two sides, I guess.

Interesting 🙂 I wonder if there is a country without any zoo!
