No support! Zoos are bad for animals 1. Captivity often makes animal crazy! 2. It's not the animals they care the most (making money out from it) 3. Zoos rarely help animals 4. Zoos aren't educational 5. Zoos are dangerous for animals Source: www.petakids.com/save-animals/zoos/ Say no to Zoos!! Bring them back to their natural habitat!
You forgot 2 other zoo's. Both with quite alot of animals. The first one is Congress. The second one is an football stadium during a game.
So... You're saying a lion should be released back into it's natural habitat to be hunted down and used for no beneficial purpose to humanity? I mean, cool, release them, but when they start being killed, PETA won't be there to protect them.
So just coz lion is endangered you'd put all other animals in a cage? Zoos aren't started with an intention to protect animals Plus why not have wild life sanctuaries instead?
Prove otherwise before you make that statement. Why do you think Zoos protect many endangered species in the first place?
