As already mentioned, there is a lot of pain in zoos and pet shops are worse, I can't go into those at all, you walk in there and it's overpowering.
I do agree with you to some extent. Many animals are bred to produce the 'cute' babies that draw people through the gates.

However, humanity has left such a huge footprint on so many habitats, I support a captive breeding program that rereleases animals back into the wild to help sustain or reintroduce their population.

I have no doubt animals suffer in zoo's or even worse circuses. It makes my heart warm to see humanity finally awakening to our fellow brethren on earth and their plight. I hope in my lifetime we can try and find some balance in most parts of the world. That is what I work hard for every day!!

Peace and Love
