We all thought that zoo’s were great at some point, looking after the animals, being friendly to them, and teaching them tricks. But no! Not many people know what goes on after hours at the zoo. It is not good. My three main points may change your minds about zoos for the best.
Zoos often keep animals in small enclosures for long periods of time. They paint fake backgrounds to look like their natural surrounding, but the animals are not dumb they know that it is fake. They get put in little cages which is not good. I think Elephants and cheetahs especially don't belong in zoos because elephants are use to traveling very long distances in a herd each day, Cheetahs are used to having all the space they want to run as fast as they can chasing prey.
Animals living in zoos have a shorter lifespan than animals living in the wild. Many are getting sick and stressing out. They are getting zoochosis which means they suffer from bordism and start stressing more . Lots of animals are living on concreted floors in zoos. That is not natural.
Zoos are cruel to animals. They put them in little cages in the winter and in the summer they are kept in small rooms with fake paintings of animals so they think they are not alone. They feed them bad food and many get left for long periods of time with no water . An example of that was when a tiger died in a zoo a few years ago from getting feed bad food . On the counter side you may think zoos are a good place for animals but no.The animals would much rather be out in the wild where they can catch their prey instead of getting bored doing nothing other than entertaining you!
Those are my reasons for getting rid of zoos. I hope this has changed your mind about zoos for the best.
