Ban Zoos!

The Issue

Zoos should be banned because they are very unethical.

This petition was started by Lizzie Jensen, I am just posting it on Change.org

Zoos are unethical because most animals don’t like to be restrained. Notice how the tiger paces back and forth all day? Too much energy, meant for running and hunting, was used on pacing back and forth all day. Just for our entertainment. It can’t because we trapped it in a cage with limited space, in a loud area with screaming and crying babies, and people pointing and exclaiming and taking pictures. We are harming these animals by trapping them in cages for their whole lives. Most of these animals in zoos will never see the outside of the zoo. Zoos say that the animals have a disability, or they were found trapped, but is that true? You can’t tell that they were. Polar bears in the 90-degree heat of summer, tigers, lions, and cheetahs, with no room to run, sea lions who do shows every day, and have no room to swim. Most of the zoo workers who tell us not to litter actually litter themselves, or don’t throw away trash in the right bin. We need to take a stand.
