Are you going to be a savior of our earth, will you set wildlife back free, will you protect the env

As Alison Green states

'Regarding the question about zoos, I think we must oppose them because the animals lives are changed for the worst.

Even under the best of circumstances, captivity can be hell for animals meant to roam free. Captive animals (who, in some zoos, are kept in small, barren cages, forced to sleep on concrete slabs, and imprisoned behind iron bars) often suffer from malnutrition, loneliness, the denial of all normal pleasures and behaviors, and loss of freedom and independence.

Even at the best zoos, animals are rarely kept in normal social or family groups. Habitats are usually very small and inhibit or preclude natural behaviors like flying, swimming, running, hunting, climbing, scavenging, and partner selection. The animals physical and mental frustrations can lead to abnormal, neurotic and even self-destructive behavior. And, even at zoos considered good, horrible events such as beatings of animals have occurred to keep them ''manageable.'' I have an L.A. Times article about an African elephant who was transferred from the San Diego Zoo to the San Diego Wild Animal Park--her old caretakers reported seeing her new caretakers chain her, pull her to the ground, and beat her on the head with ax handlers for two days. One described the blows as ''home run swings.'' In the same article, San Francisco zookeeper Paul Hunter was quoted as saying of elephants. ''You have to motivate them and the way you do that is by beating the hell out of them.''
