I know one family that feels it is their "right" because they "know" how to care for them(because they've read up on it)Seriously?? that is STUPID. PERIOD!
this is what I meant, obviously a zoo or private sanctuary is a business/organization, not an individual. There is some oversight.
I should have said "individual private property".
I don't care for zoos either but they don't make me feel unsafe as I would if my neighbor had wild animals.
