What are your thoughts on zoos? Obviously, we're all animal lovers here, so what do you think?
Honestly, I don't think they're very good. I mean, I think some animals belong in cages (like chinchillas lol),. But that's when someone cares for and love and spoils it. Most of the animals in zoos probably don't get that attention (and most wouldn't want to, either.) And a lot of the time, most of them don't seem very happy.
I don't know. I know there are some exceptions when the animals are well taken care of, happy, rescues, etc. But it just seems to me like zoos are much more for the human's enjoyment than the animals'. But maybe I'm just ignorant?
What do you think? Is an animal better off free, or in a zoo?
