I wasn't demanding they educate me, I was curious if they had a source to back up their claim.

Yeah, we all know. You're "just asking questions".

You've also made it clear that you don't understand how modern zoos tend to work. They are often rehabilitation centers. And yes, we clearly do need them to do the conservation work because it's not being done otherwise.

Did you read the study I linked? Do you have a source for your claims? "Just asking questions" is very different to asking for a source, especially when I've looked into it and found a study counter to your claim. For the record, I also ask for sources from people who I think are correct or mostly correct: https://slrpnk.net/comment/10039992
