Zoo's included. But I also realize that there is a need for animal sanctuaries when these creatures have been injured and need to heal-and that the only way they can fund themselves is to display these animals...like a zoo...round and round on that one.

I love animals, but these animals just don't need to be kept captivated. If you love animals that much, donate money to animal organizations and visit the countries in which they naturally inhabit. Exotic parrots are another animal that many people seem to love owning that is not on your list just because they are more accepted. There is just no reason that an animal that flies needs to be kept in a tiny cage where they are not allowed to fly.
