One of the first examples I ever encountered was in the books of Gerald Durrell, the famous conservationist who was an early pioneer of the roles of zoos in conservation. He often defended that role in his books from animal rights activists who opposed “imprisoning” animals in zoos even if it saved them from extinction.

Perhaps it would be better to move the tigers to that bigger reserve, or maybe a zoo. It’s all very well to advocate the should that tigers should not be poached from a reserve in India.
