"I used to not believe in zoos as a concept, but now because there are so many endangered animals; there's so much poaching. With zoos now, it's really about conservation. They become safe houses for a lot of species so, I think, now, zoos are really necessary places, not totally about just family entertainment at any cost. It's about education; it's about conservation." — Slash tells Samaritanmag, 2012.
