11. After a trip to Africa a few years ago, I can no longer visit a zoo.

The trip included multiple days of safari, and seeing so many animals free to roam in their natural habitats was amazing. While I know many people cannot go to Africa to see them, the solution to out them in ages or behind bars with little space to roam seems heartless.
