I guess giving up our zoos would destroy us.

Not us, but them. Humanity is absolutely devastating to like, all ecosystems. Like capitalism, we will hunt until extinction, as has happened in the past.

Not all zoos are good zoos, again, perfection is impossible; we are not a hivemind. Zoos allow us to study and conserve in a way that is both self-sustainable and hopefully, a little comfortable and social.

The best case scenario would be conservation through National Parks and protected wild land. Even that has to be protected from poachers by like, real military folk sometimes.

We don't live in a perfect world, so we have to do the best we can with what we got until we can make it a better world.
