Hell no! I would not ever set a zoo animal free. Because they most likely have been bred in captivity and wouldn't know what to do with a wide open field if they found themselves in one.
Seriously, you (yes, YOU!) have been protected from the elements and strangers who want to hurt you, you have been fed and watered and cared for all your life - how would you fare if someone decided you should be FREE! and they dumped you in your "natural habitat" without any of those support structures in place - no house, no kitchen knives, no refrigerator, no means of protecting yourself. Wouldn't that suck?
(To anyone who has not led a life of full safety and healthy well-being, I apologise for the above statement. My intention is to promote empathy and understanding, not to offend.)
