Animals are living creatures that are meant to be free in the wild...
They are not something to be held in captivity...
It is not just about tigers, though. Many other animals in zoos live in very small spaces compared to the space that they have in the wild. This can make the animal stressed and unhappy. It is not just about space. Zoo animals often cannot behave naturally. How can a tiger hunt its prey in a zoo? If you were not allowed to do the things you like to do for the rest of your life how would you feel?
Zoos are for entertaining people. The people who own zoos say that they are also for ‘conservation’. What they mean is that zoos help to stop wild animals dying out in the wild. The trouble is that often zoos do not help in conservation. If fact some people say that they make things worse.
One reason why zoos make things worse for wild animals is because they are being used in zoos for our entertainment. This means that we are more likely to regard animals as creatures to entertain us. If we have that idea in our heads it is more likely that animals will die out in the wild. This is because it encourages people to use animals rather than to respect them for what they are and to let them live their lives naturally in places were they are meant to live.
Kids will say that zoos are good fun. Kids can learn about animals at zoos. This is good but kids also learn that animals and zoos go together when they don’t. Animals are not meant to be in zoos. Kids could still learn about animals in other ways which were kinder to animals, if zoos did not exist.
Another reason why animals should not be kept in zoos is because when they are stressed they don’t breed. They don’t create babies. When they die the zoo has to get hold of a new animal from somewhere else. Some of these animals will come from the wild where they should be left alone. This is not helping conservation but hurting it.
Don’t think that animals don’t feel emotions. They do. More people are gradually realising this. As wild animals feel emotions and as they have natural instincts to live in the wild, they are bound to feel unhappy in a cage with concrete underfoot rather than grass and earth with the sky and sun overhead. Do we have the right to make animals unhappy and ill for our entertainment?
