Ideally I’d like there to be enough wilderness for natural ecosystems to flourish, but I’ve made my peace with well-run zoos, staffed by biologists who both care and invest research effort at adequate scale. Amateurs running sentimental zoos of only charismatic megafauna, no.

For all it’s horrors, factory farming of livestock at least has a defensible purpose: food. Wild animals you don’t eat but just raise for narcissism (or just as bad, for exotic food/insane medicine as in China)... something really ugly about that.
