Good for you! I've not got a downer on all zoos - some do great conservation work and have breeding and re-release programs.
I do have a problem with performing dolphins & whales though. If they can't be released because they couldn't survive, or are part of a conservation program then they should be treated with dignity. I know that the keepers say the animals enjoy performing and being trained because of the attention they get, and they may well do, but making money is usually the main driving force rather than the welfare of the creatures. IMHO.
