What would it contain? How would this stay balanced with the rest of the jobs when many animals are killing machines? How would we stop people from letting the Space Gorillas out? Why are all these questions all unanswered even though I've seen this suggestion dozens of times?
1. zoos are awesome
2. cabin fever
3. nothing, fuck having a zookeeper to tend things
4. you already asked this question
5. move all that crap from the center of the station to the back of an expanded tool storage, put the zoo there
6. reinforced walls, four-ply reinforced crystal glass windows with full crystal glass window overlay and a grille underneath(you can't unfasten windows set up this way because the four-ply windows prevent you from freeing the large one and the large one blocks you from clicking the one-directionals), blast doors as the only viable exit for the creatures(require an e-mag to open these). put the entire zoo somewhere visible(see 5.) so the crew can easily see anyone trying to smash the full windows so they can unfasten the smaller ones(and robust the shit out of them)
