As a child I did love the National Zoo in D.C. where I could see Smokey the Bear. But while in college I had to visit a local zoo near my art college and it broke my heart. I didn't go to a zoo again for decades until once again visiting the San Diego zoo.

Not all of us will get to Africa or Antarctica. Zoos also help prevent extinction and preserve the species.
