Reply to comment by BoobPickles in Maryland Zoo mourns unexpected death of giraffe, Willow by Expendable_Red_Shirt

Yeah. And they do a ton of research to try to help species in the wild as well.

Plus, life as a wild animal often fucking sucks so that helps me feel a bit better about it.

Oh yeah, most people don't realize the majority of wild animals lives end in some horrifying ways.

They also do help with the youth becoming engaged with wildlife. The more people we raise who care about conservation the better.
