I am not familar with the RTI application, but I think hard questions regarding zoos need to be asked since there are some great ones and some that make my skin crawl, which is doing the animals a complete injustice.
I'll never forget the revolting zoo I was taken to as part of a river trip in Bangkok. The conditions were appalling. Zoos everywhere need to be monitored more stringently.
I do not know RTI application. But, I think most Zoos have bad conditions for kept animals. Some animals like lions are not meant to be tamed.
Every living being like his/her freedom. I like the idea of animal safari, but even that I am not sure is 100% great.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
