The zoos deprive animals' freedom to do normal activities in the wild. Malnourished, wounded, and trapped in old, rusty cages are the photos of animals in Manila Zoo circulating over the internet. Disappointment, shock, pity and disbelief were the emotions of people. An example of the problem is the life of the oldest hippopotamus in Manila Zoo, Bertha whose life was full of boredom, misery and deprivation. She only felt freedom through death and even the other animals who died in their prison, the zoo. They are denied a life of freedom and everything that's normal to them. Every aspect of their lives is controlled and manipulated by humans. They are controlled on what they can eat, when they will eat, sleep and who they can mate with. Their enclosures are very tiny and are not the same size as their natural habitats and they are being fooled by humans with fake backgrounds of their habitats. Animals are being controlled, losing their rights, and they do not have their freedom to live on how they want. They are taken from the wild and are forced to live in tiny cages and tanks which makes them to suffer in silence and their misery are unseen despite the people who peer in at them every day.
