I've never really been able to tolerate zoos.

I do love nature, but I don't suppose I'd spent more time in zoos as a child than anyone else!

Zoos are becoming facsimiles - or perhaps caricatures - of how animals once were in their natural habitat. If the right policies toward nature were pursued, we would need no zoos at all.

All zoos are both beguiling and repellent.

Zoos should concentrate more on the preservation side of things.

I am personally not against keeping animals at zoos, as they serve a huge educational purpose, but treating them well and with respect seems the least we could do, and with 'we' I mean not just zoo staff, but most certainly also the public.

My parents used to take me to the pet department and tell me it was a zoo.

I love to go to the zoo. But not on Sunday. I don't like to see the people making fun of the animals, when it should be the other way around.

Zoo: An excellent place to study the habits of human beings.
