do you think that its a total violation to a animal rights to imprison animals for public viewing??

PROTECTED OR EXPLOITED??

I do in fact think that zoos are a total violation of animal rights. However, as an animal lover i may have beliefs that differ from most of today's population.

I think for the most part it is... it's making fun of these proud animals... it's taking them out of their natural home, out of the healthiest climate they could have... and making them made a mockery of.... every single day....

I do believe in nature reserves simply because they leave the animals alone for most of the time.... and they're given free roam and not displayed in little glass cases....

I honestly can't go to a zoo, if you watch them... you can see their obvious unhappiness.

While I am a vegan and a strong animal lover I also believe that zoos violate animal rights to live in their natural habitats.  However there are many animals that are taken into places like zoos and preferably sanctuaries to be preserved becuase people wont stop hunting them.  Nonetheless zoos do exploit animals but it helps the zoos help maintain a sanitary environment for animals - i hope.
