ZOO animals in Black & White...Why not Colored?

Have you been in the Zoo?



Animals should not be kept in any form of captivity. Animals belong in their natural habitat. It is a breach of their natural rights to take them away, and put them behind bars. All animals that are kept in captivity should be realised into the wild. Every day animals are taken out of their natural habitat and put behind bars, purely for our benefit. Studies have shown that these animals are suffering form severe cases of depression, abnormal behaviour and physiological distress. How does the bird feel in the cage when he can clearly see his wild cousin flying free from his confines? More questions than answers.









Wild animals need miles and miles of area to remain free and to remain sane, which is definitely not available in cages. Behind the locks and keys, they go crazy. They attack their own species, they become destructive; they even sometimes commit suicide. Insanity, for them, is inevitable. Because their domain; has dramatically decreased from the whole, wild world to just a small cage surrounded by tourists, visitors, and strange unsympathetic people.








 Noisy and curious, intelligent and social, the chimpanzee is the mammal most like a human. Chimpanzees fascinate humans and are favorites both in zoos and the wild. But is this one happy?
Zoos are cruel jails for these animals and should be outlawed unless they provide the animals with a friendly and roomy habitat, good food and good medical care. Most unfortunately do not … I cannot imagine what life must be like for these animals in your gallery and thousands like them the world over …











I find this gallery particularly expressive and agree we do not have the right as humans to cage animals simply for our viewing pleasure. Very sad but this is reality. This is what the humans are doing for publicity and entertainment for the public. Every look of those innocent creatures tells us their sad life stories… This is a sad reality…they’re caged for our entertainment











Animals should be respected and, if we can’t altogether avoid fencing them in, they should be given a lot more space. Even though modern zoo’s try to consider the needs of animals and some of them wouldnt have a chance to survive in the wild (sad, but true) the still remain a prision. Unfortunately, mankind has destroyed our planet to the point that many of these creatures may only survive through human intervention now. We do not deserve the world we have been given, in the beginning when zoos were first created it was for the entertainment and amusement of humans, now unfortunately it is properly the only way that these creatures will survive. We are heading down a path of no return, our climate is changing, species are becoming extinct at an unprecedented rate,greed and money have become god, heaven help us all.







 Many people visit zoos so they are able to gain greater knowledge of how animals behave and operate. These people want to see the animals acting naturally, how they would in the wild. The only way to understand an animal properly is to see it in its natural environment. Zoos give totally artificial and misleading views by isolating animals from there ecosystem. If people want to see how animals behave they should go out into the wild to see real animals, not ones who are physiologically distressed.




Zoos are indeed a double-edged sword. Some people claim that zoos help protect endangered animals. Capturing animals from the wild can endanger them, and some species have become extinct in zoos. It’s sad to see them behind bars, yet without these zoos, you’d never see see many of these animals because they’d be extinct. One way or another humans seem to have a knack for destroying the beauty that is nature.







So, after reading this, the next time you go to the zoo and look in the eyes of the animals...remember these words, then close your eyes, and listen. Trust me, you will be surprised by how often caged animals do actually speak.
