There is still much room for discussion about whether zoos should be closed, but those trying to maintain a little conventional dignity must be careful in censuring others as inhumane. Children may not be grateful to us for closing zoos, but if zoos use destroying the natural environment as an excuse to exist, then the next generation will be even less grateful, I'm afraid!
動物園該不該關門大吉，還可以有許多討論，但要拿人道與否來非人，想維持一點傳統尊嚴的人，可得小心了，也許關掉動物園，兒童不會因此感激我們，但如果動物園是以毀壞自然環境做為存在的藉口，下一代恐怕更不會感激我們！
