Found a video by a channel talking about the dark sides of zoos, what are your thoughts on it?
Thoughts on this video?

Clicking on these sort of videos generates money for the maker. So I don't tend to do it (it also impacts recommendations made to me).
Looking at the channel overall they make a variety of videos on all sorts of topics but don't appear to have a particular interest in zoos. The blood stained logo and cute panda suggests it's the usual 'zoos are mostly bad' thing. So I'd expect a predictable mix of 'they might save some animals but it's all cruel really / it's prison for animals' and 'lots of people who like my channel think this will be a cool opinion so I'll give them that'.
What was your opinion of it?

The funny thing is this same YouTuber was praising zoos in a video that criticized The Dodo. I suppose the creator is just trying to show a different perspective, though I haven't seen the video, so maybe they just switched around their act entirely.

I gave it a brief watch and a quick scope of the channel and topics, just in case it was a channel using a click-bait thumbnail to draw views to an intelligent video.
It isn't. The takes range from dreadfully misinformed to blatant lies. Which I suppose is to be expected from someone who makes poorly researched videos on an array of subjects.
You've hit the nail on the head there

The animal shown at 5.57 is a douc langur not a chimpanzee.
