Sure, some zoos are bad, but the Calgary Zoo itself is one of the premier zoological institutions in the world, with some of the best and most state-of-the art animal enclosures - not to mention its participation in international breeding programs, ecological conservation efforts, etc. etc.
It's the one thing I tell anyone who's going to Calgary to visit while they are in town. I understand the emotional reaction that some people have to the idea of keeping animals in cages, but that's all it is - an emotional reaction - one that is not supported by reason when the situation is examined thoughtfully.
