Are zoos a solution?

People aren’t aware of cruelty of zoos which used animals for entertainment and not to protect species .

When I was a child I went to the zoo with my family because my dream was to see tigers and lions very close to me. However, I didn’t see that, what I saw was animals in prison, animals that didn’t want to be kept in artificial ecosystems. I only wanted unlock the cages.

It’s true animals are cared of and fed but they are deprived of the most important and what really makes them animals: freedom. Animals in captivity suffers stress and boredom too.

At the same way, what do that an specie animal become extinct is the human activity, modifying every ecosystem directly or indirectly( as global warming), so zoos aren’t a solution, the solution is humans care of our own planet.

Futhermore, animals are unable to develop their skills in small enclosures with unnatural weather and climates. For example, elephants walk 30 miles in one day and they can’t do it in zoos because there isn’t enough space which can lead them to suffer some diseases. In addition, baby animals improve the number of visitor and the money, but this incentive to breed new baby animals leads to overpopulation and they are sold not only to other zoos, but also to circuses or hunting facilities.

Zoos imprison animals that want to be and should be free, so zoos are only a business.
