Because I know you have nothing to back that up, except your perception of for-profit vs. non-profit.

I don't know much about Ringling Brothers, so I can't comment. SeaWorld and the National Zoo (using it because it's local and has been referenced several times in this thread) are both committed to conservation. Their business plan is the same: display animals to educate and promote a conservation message. Both organizations are accredited members of AZA, which means they meet stringent standards for animal husbandry. Both organizations run conservation institutes. But because SeaWorld is a for-profit corporation, the assumption is that it is evil.

Why does money scare people?[/quote]

Actually, the assumption is that the motivation of a for-profit corporation is to make a profit. That seems like a reasonable assumption to me. Does it seem unreasonable to you?[/quote]

Sure it has to make a profit. But that does not mean it does any less for conservation than a non-profit, does it?[/quote]

It means that its primary consideration is to make a profit.[/quote]
