I dunno. I have seen some pretty shoddy public aquaria.

Not exactly known for pristine care or heath...

I think a lot of corners get cut when you start trying to care for animals as a business...you have to ask yourself...where can I cut corners?

Easy to say from an armchair.

I have been in some that were clearly class acts.

There are others where the fish are common, and most of them are sick. There is a facility in the midwest that is running a VERY outdated filtration system that I have seen in person. They are in the process of upgrading, but when the switch happens, I cant imagine things getting any better.

A lot of times the people at the top of zoos are only interested in the numbers, and I think that is a point we can both agree on.

I personally work in public display of animals, and I know what it is like to attempt to operate on a budget as well.

Its easy for me to say, because its easy to see. A lot of places dont appear to care about much other than the bottom line.
