I accept that your intentions are not to disparage the experience but by using metaphors like "zoo" you invoke a lot of negative - and highly inappropriate - connotations. The animals are not fed, and they are free to roam over an area far bigger than Wales. No one is pretending it isn't a managed wildlife park, but "zoo" is a very poor analogy IMHO.
