So if you put cages over the animals in the jungle that's not a zoo because they never got relocated?

[andrewflnr]

Ha, fair point, sort of. Dropping a cage on someone in situ is a very specific form of liberty denial that doesn't really have a name because no one does it.

[lazide]

Who is putting cages over anyone? And where did you get that idea?

Preserves don’t do that either.

[scotty79]

Nobody. I'm just trying to understand what makes a zoo, a zoo.

My intuition is more about not forcibly relocating but putting boundaries so that movement is restricted and safe observations can be performed for prolonged time.

[lazide]

Why is that important to you?

[scotty79]

I just like to know what words mean.
