Stop caging animals
It is cruel and inhumane. I can’t believe this is still a thing. People get reprimanded for dog and cat abuse, but the law has nothing about this. It is just as bad. It doesn’t make it hurt less.
Reply ReplyYes I agree,they deserve to be free,but sadly many are endangered or threatened,and if released will be killed.Or the animal can not live on its own,at my zoo there is an orangutan with heart problems
They should be where they belong and with their families. They are meant to be free and happy.
Reply ReplyBecause poor animals could be out in the wild having better things to do instead of be stuck in a cage. I know obviously people would like to see animals at a zoo but animals should be free from cages
Reply ReplyZoos are places that keep animals in captivity for their whole lives. I know that if I were in their position, I would want to live in freedom, not in an enclosure.
Reply ReplyAnimals don’t want to be in cages, and people are forcing them to be exposed. It is better than a petting zoo, but it is still horrible.

No, because before zoos we were mindlessly killing the animals. However, I feel like there needs to more rules and guidelines to protecting them.
ReplyBecause most are not cruel and the majority only want to help the species that are endangered and by making zoos you’re also making a species less endangered
ReplyZoos are a huge fountain of learning
Replywell they aren’t cool. but a lot of zoos safe animals from unsafe habits and fur/tusk farmers.
ReplyMany zoos are in the industry of preserving and breeding endangered species where the zoo part is for the project’s funding.
ReplyThe majority of zoos rescue the injured animals and when the animal is healthy the zoo will decide to have these animals stay if they don’t believe it will be able to live on its own.
ReplyMany zoos help animal species and prevents poachers from killing off many threatened species. Although, I do agree if a zoo is caught abusing its animals the zoo should be changed or closed down.
ReplyThere are many zoos that are really amazing to animals and really care. There is not enough bad ones to shut all of them down
ReplyZoos often take in endangered animals or rescue animals that have been hurt in the wild. Many zoos also donate the money they earn to keep animals safe out in the wild.
ReplyYes there can be bad zoos and aquariums, but you can not say ALL of them are bad! The zoos and aquariums I have been to treat there animals amazingly! Positive reinforcement, not negative punishment.
