Zoos Are Cruel I absolutely believe that animals should not be kept in zoos and here are my reasons why; no hunting rights, small enclosures and an unnatural environment. First, predatory animals don’t have the right to hunt. Lions should have the right to hunt live prey released into their enclosure, not wait for zookeepers to drop a bunch of meat into their enclosure. The animals are forced to live entirely unnatural lives.They spend their whole lives walking around a miniscule enclosure which leads to my next reason why animals should not be kept in zoos. Small enclosures.The tiny size of the enclosure causes animals to be squeezed into a tiny, barley natural environment where they can’t leave their homes because they are surrounded by bars on all four sides and The cage is so small that it’s like locking someone in a house,on a cold day with a window open and no heating on.It’s like living in prison and that brings us to the final reason why animals should not be kept in zoos. Unnatural conditions which make animals feel uncomfortable because their enclosure is nothing like their habitat. For example with the tiger they when then they are shoved into a zoo where it may not rain for weeks. And it gets worse with reptiles because they can’t leave their heat lamps for most of the day because it’s too cold. So all you zoo lovers have been beaten. And don’t forget that zoos are cruel,not cool because of the reasons above.
