I agree with both of you about the zoo thing. I'm torn as well.
I'm less torn about Sea World because of the size of the animals but more so that they're forced to perform daily. They're already in a ####ty position being in a small enclosure but now you're making them do tricks a few times a day?

Even with all the improvements over the years, the lions cage for instance at the San Diego zoo is tiny. If it's tiny there, I shudder to think of what the lesser zoos do for their big cats. The Rhino in San Diego just stood there looking sad for like 25 minutes.
I find it interesting that sea world is all vilified now, yet zoos are still generally acceptable for most people.
I don't even consider myself an animal rights activist or anything, but I do believe living creatures should be shown respect and dignity -- even when slaughtering livestock or hunting game for human use.
