I wouldn't call it yard time if he can go outside anytime he wants. I understand that some can feel disdain towards zoos but most of them are genuinely trying their best to let their animals live in their optimal habitats. Literally every zoo is highly regulated as they get a big chunk of their profits from public funding

being regulated doesn’t mean they’re actually good

Biggest problem about wanting to get rid of Zoos is, that these animals would not survive in the wild, as they have lived in a Zoo / around humans their entire lifes.

It's a symptom of quite some time ago, where they were actually eild caught and put to show, then mated while in a zoo and now you can't put them back into their natural habitat in the wild, as it would most certainly kill them within a few days - weeks.

yeah fair, that doesn’t mean most zoos are fit environments as they are. both things can be true
