"they closed the exhibit because they didn't want the visitors to see the (potentially unsettling/traumatizing) injuries on the baboons"

Have they tried closing the Zoo and releasing the animals back into the wild. Zoos are a nineteenth century anachronism, designed for when that was the only way people could get a look at such exotic animals. Last time I was in one, the animals looked tired, stressed and listless.

"Have they tried closing the Zoo and releasing the animals back into the wild." YES. This. Literally laughing out loud at the obviousness of this.. Rediculious that we still keep wild animals as pets and call it educational. It's an amazing lesson in speciesism.
