I support good zoos. They're the reason a lot of animals haven't outright gone extinct. Good zoos and good zookeepers keep their animals in tip top care and are pretty great about contributing to zoological research and have breeding programs that re introduce endangered and extinct species back into the wild. For a great example of this, see the case of the Mexican Red Wolf and how zoos were responsible for bringing them out of extinction.
As always, research the zoos you support and don't go to shitty zoos that keep animals in sub par conditions.
