Should Zoos be allowed to do some limited farming to supplement their revenue by selling exotic meat?

Think of selling tiger/lion/giraffe meat to high class restaurant, or offer it themselves in limited events.

The conflict of interests would seem to preclude it. Even capitalism loves a “core mission”.

In-zoo hotels however, are going to be a big thing.

Serving up a tiger/lion/giraffe is a bit different than a cow because of the numbers and threat of extinction. A lot of places serve up antelope or ostrich, because they aren’t threatened.
