Animals should not be kept in captivity for any reason unless they have been injured and need to receive treatment, but they must be released as soon as they are healthy and able to care for themselves. themselves again. Using a captive animal for research, education or entertainment is simply unacceptable. No creature deserves to have its life taken for our benefit. Would you want to be captured and put in a little box or fake little ecosystem, or abused and tortured because apparently that's the only possible way to train an animal? How about just knowing that your real life is over and now all you have to do is put on a show for people? This is what we do to these animals for our entertainment: we tear children away from their parents. How is this true? It's like kidnapping: we put humans in prison for it, but only when it involves another human. People act as if, just because they are not human, everything is fine and they lie to themselves that everything is fine and that the animal will be taken care of, fed and have a cute little " fake” forest or desert to live in. Just think of it as a zoo full of humans, or stealing from other humans for profit or teaching someone something new by doing something totally wrong and unethical. Let's take a look at pitiful prisons (zoos), for example. Despite their professional concern for animals, zoos might be more accurately described as a "collection" of animals rather than true shelters or safe homes. Zoos claim to be educational, but visitors spend perhaps a few minutes at each exhibit looking for entertainment rather than enlightenment. No matter what is on display, people look at it as if it were wallpaper. Even considering the best circumstances middle of paper...... pitiful zoo/prison fact sheets />. (JohnsonI) Johnson, Natalie.
