Yes I agree with Devon.

Sometimes I wonder if it is ethical to keep animals in Zoo's but I think the benefits of captive breeding programs off-set these concerns.

Nigel, the ethics are debatable, but the reality is that people will not bother to protect what they do not value. If they value the animals, then they may have a greater appreciation for protecting that environment, so that the animal can have a place to live. There is a part of me that believes that should not be necessary, but the realist in me knows that it is.
