Imagine if a monkey abducted you and put you behind bars just for other monkeys to look at you. Does that seem like it would be enjoyable for you? I did not think so. You did not do anything wrong, but you have to spend your life behind bars because the monkeys can make money this way. This would never happen of course, but if we reverse the roles, it is happening everyday and people just seem to accept it.
People think it is OK to treat animals this way simply because they are different. Kind of like how people thought it was OK to treat African Americans as slaves just because their skin color was different. Do animals really not have the right to live a free life because they have different features than us?
Zoos are people using other beings against their own will to make the owners money. This sounds an awful lot like human trafficking. The only difference is zoos are legal and attract customers. It is understandable to want to see animals, but is that really worth taking away their freedom?
After watching this video you will see that animals clearly do not belong in zoos, nor do they want to be trapped in them. We can help stop this by refusing to go to zoos. Every dollar you give to a zoo is a dollar towards preventing animal freedom. It is the 21st century. We are better than this.
