([[NSA]]: ''[[The Last Dodo]]'') However, on another occasion, he voluntarily visited a zoo on his own. Although he freed a few of the animals, he did so not on moral grounds, but only because it helped him avoid [[Dalek]]s. ([[DWBIT]]: ''[[Carnage Zoo]] - ''[[Extermination of the Daleks]]'') | ||
Indeed, it was quite unclear that other incarnations of the Doctor were particularly bothered by zoos. His [[first Doctor|first self]] was quite happy to help a [[zookeeper (The Didus Expedition)|zookeeper]] recapture his prize [[didus]]. ([[TVC]]: ''[[The Didus Expedition]]'') The [[Third Doctor]] and [[the Brigadier]] once encountered animals in a [[London]] zoo whose dispositions had been chemically altered by [[Cedric Matthews]]. Their goal, however, was not freeing the animals, but merely returning normal order to the zoo. ([[TVC]]: ''[[The Arkwood Experiments]]'') In his [[Sixth Doctor|sixth incarnation]]. the Doctor had a [[TARDIS Zoo|zoo onboard the TARDIS]] which mostly held endangered species.

Although no [[companion]] was known to be a zookeeper, some companions did occasionally remark upon them or express a desire to visit them. [[Dodo Chaplet]], for instance, once believed [[the TARDIS]] had landed in [[Whipsnade Zoo]], when in fact it had landed on the ''[[Ark]]''. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Ark (TV story)|The Ark]]'') [[Martha Jones]] had specifically requested to be taken to a zoo when allowed to choose her destination. Unfortunately, the request offended the Doctor. Nevertheless they did end up going to a grand zoo which retained the last examples of several endangered species from [[Earth]].
