I would say that is quite the opposite. Zoos use captive born animals but they certainly don't release them. An animal is habituated to humans and human presence would not fair well in the wild. Animals that are planned to be re-released are generally not put on display because keepers want to keep them as wild as possible. Their is a lot of controversy into releasing animals that have been handeled by people, so animals are only handled when no other choice is given.wolfquest47 wrote:Adding to Pawnee's post, zoos don't take animals from the wild and shut them in a cage.

They do as little stress as possible, and immediately release them back into the wild where they came from.
Pawnee, i was speaking of the wild animals. if they were to tag them, they would immediately release them. You misunderstood what i was saying.pawnee wrote:I would say that is quite the opposite.
