Facepalm? What are you on about? I didn't disagree that monopods were useful. You've basically repeated just what I said before here and elsewhere.
I don't like zoo shots so much because of all the things that the images in this thread show, including your example. Black areas, bad lighting, bars, fences and in other images I've seen, concrete and so on. It's distracting, unpleasant and unnatural.
A monopod didn't turn that image into a nice shot in the open. Yes it it reasonably sharp and exposed, but it's still horrible - composition wise - which is what I complained about before. That kind of thing is obviously less of a problem when you don't have bars and enclosures getting in the way. A monopod doesn't magic it all away.
There are good reasons to go out and shoot animals in the wild rather than in a small cage. The backgrounds and setting can make a big difference in a photo.
