Sanctuary vs. Zoo
What exactly is the difference between a zoo and a sanctuary? If you’re wondering, one way to tell them apart is the fact that zoos earn a profit from the visitors whereas sanctuaries are meant to protect and shelter animals. The animals you will find in sanctuaries likely won’t make it by themselves in the wild or were rescued from abusive homes. Zoos, on the other hand, make it a point to trade, breed, and buy animals.
