I don't think we'll get a zoo because they seem to promote free living for the animals, we got no birds in cages, no outdoor doghouses, no pets sold in pets store, etc. An African world would be more like it, maybe we get safari travel.
I'm torn on this. On the one hand, they didn't let us keep rabbits or birds as pets. On the other, I feel like we didn't get pet birds because of the budget/they wanted to piecemeal them like they did rodents, and pet stores were cut because it's easier to do it over the phone.
If they're gonna be wet blankets and want to make a statement about environmentalism or whatever, zoos are a necessity for many animals' wellbeing. Many zoos protect biodiversity, provide research that can help us better understand and care for animals, and keep endangered animals safe. You could run an animal sanctuary.

More animals would be great, but I hope they don't do zoos. I'd rather see more creatures in the wild, especially in forests and parks (and savannas if we ever get any) as well as rural and suburban areas.
I'd be fine with both. Ideally we'd have the option for both, like with Sims 3. For me though, the fun of animals is being able to bond with them and make them members of the family. The farm animals worked for me, but the rabbits, foxes and birds didn't.
