The video discusses a new law in Costa Rica that prohibits the state from keeping animals in zoos, leading to the closure of two state zoos and the relocation of 287 animals to rescue centers. The law aims to allow animals to live freely, with only those having physical or behavioral issues staying in sanctuaries. Animal rights groups have hailed this as a historic achievement. The video concludes with a prompt asking viewers if they think more countries will ban zoos in the future.
