ANIMALS IN GOOD CAPTIVE ENVIRONMENTS ACTUALLY LIVE LONGER IN CAPTIVITY THEN IN THE WILD; "ALL CAPTIVITY IS AN UNNECESSARY, CRUEL CASH GRAB FOR ANIMALS"; CAPTIVE FACILITIES ALLOW PEOPLE WHO CAN'T AFFORD TO SEE ANIMALS IN THE WILD TO GET AN AFFORDABLE, EDUCATIONAL, SAFE AND IMMERSIVE LOOK AT THESE ANIMALS; MOST OF THE GOOD CAPTIVE FACILITIES BELONG TO NON-PROFIT FACILITIES THAT PUT ALL OF THE MONEY THEY GET INTO BETTER WELFARE FOR THEIR ANIMALS AND ALSO INTO IMPORTANT FIELD WORK; MOST SCIENTISTS STUDYING NATURE WERE INSPIRED BY VISITS TO CAPTIVE FACILITIES TO DO THEIR WORK; CAPTIVITY HAS IMPROVED THE REPUTATION OF MANY ANIMALS, SUCH AS SHARKS, ORCAS, BIG CATS, ETC. CAPTIVITY ALSO HAS SOME ANIMALS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE COMPLETELY EXTINCT (AXOLOTLS, GUAM KINGFISHER, ETC)
