Yeah. I mean, for sure they should be bigger. I mean, there should be a size requirement. There should be – you should have to have a certain amount of acres for each individual species so that they don't – like we were talking about the chimp enclosure at the LA Zoo. They bite each other's fingers off and – They need space. They need space and they need activities.

And ideally what we should do is emulate their wild existence. But then you have this moral question of are we going to let goats into the tiger cage and just let them sort it out? Because that's really what they want. What lions want to do is chase down a wildebeest and eat it. And instead what we do is we slide a tray underneath their cage. And that's torture for them. It really is.

It's torture for them to have an enclosed space where it's small. It's torture for them to not be able to express their natural instincts. I mean, it's one thing if you're talking about something like the thylacine, right, where they kept them in captivity and the last known survivors and you had this thing and like, wow, now we have video of this thing and now it doesn't exist anymore.

So the zoos were like the last hope to try to keep this thing from going extinct. And it may not be extinct. There's a lot of- Yeah, seed banks.

Yeah, they think there might actually be living specimens that are alive. Well, in this state, they're bringing them back.

Well, they're very hard to find. I mean, like, try finding a wolverine. You know, wolverine populations are pretty healthy, but good luck finding one. They're very, very, very difficult to find unless you spend an enormous amount of time alone in the bush.

And then you're dealing with thylacines. You're dealing with a very unpopulated area that's extremely hostile to people. But there are anecdotal sightings, and hopefully that thing does exist. And I would love for Forrest to be the guy who finds it because he spent so much time looking for it. But other than a dying species, I can't see a good argument for keeping these things.
