I won’t bother counter-arguing because I definitely agree with you 101 percent.

However, as you yourself pointed out, safari parks do play a role in conservation, which I can’t entirely ignore. It’s not that this thought didn’t cross my mind while I was writing about my day at the safari — it did.

That said, I tend to approach the topic with a “lesser of an evil” perspective. Compared to conventional zoos, safari parks are a step ahead. They offer animals more space and a slightly more natural environment, which feels like a small improvement, at the very least.

And since they’re there, why not visit? At the end of the day, if these visits also spark awareness and a bit of respect for wildlife, perhaps it’s not all bad.

Thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate :)
