No. Zoos aren't merciless. It is men and women which might be merciless. The tremendous majority of animals in zoos at present had been breed and raised in captivity. They understand not anything of a wild life. It could be merciless to unencumber the ones again in to the wild. Zoos are right here to stick. Too many men and women like spending time there.

Lots and lots and lots and lots!!! Too many to mention. I expect nobody really knows, but there are hundreds if not thousands. The number only grows.
