I'm a simple emigrant and I love animals

Therefore I don't really like zoos, but I try to go to them to see the conditions in which animals are kept. I'm especially interested in comparing the Frankfurt Zoo with Russian ones, for example, the Novosibirsk and Sakhalin zoos. All in all, not bad! I even saw animals that were new to me. In the pavilion for nocturnal inhabitants, the bats are very lively, but you can't photograph with a flash there, and without a flash it's pointless. Many animals that are not dangerous to humans are in close proximity, behind low fences or even roam among people. I'm not a zoologist, but they say that if animals in zoos breed, it means a comfortable environment was created for them. There are many pregnant animals and quite small cubs here, I think that's a plus. Also interesting: placards about how offspring come into being, but there wasn't such a thing in the porcupine terrarium, and that's a pity. Unfortunately, some animals looked unhealthy, sad, the birds looked somehow plucked. This made me sad to the point of a lump in my throat. Especially the realization that I am encouraging this by buying a ticket. By the way, the price is 12 euros (it's not a lot). For some animals there is catastrophically little space, for example, a lion in a 2x2 display, or crocodiles barely fitting into the pool, or monkeys, from despair, walking back and forth along a rope several meters long. I want to shout in all directions to close zoos, but what if the adult animals were killed by poachers, and the little ones were saved and brought here? Or were they hostages of wandering circuses together with dwarfs and giants and were saved? So I don't even know how to feel about it. Perhaps it's better to acquaint people with unfamiliar flora and fauna through photographs. And what do you think? #frankfurt
