Leaving them in nature to die and keeping them "safe" by preserving them in captivity is 2 sides of the same coin. Either way their natural lives have been robbed from them.

Not saying we should do nothing but just keep every species alive in special zoos and aquariams sounds dystopian and it feels like a stretch to call keeping animals in captivity "preserving nature".
