That means that only 10% of animals are likely to last just the trip, which does not include the dozens of animals that are canceled orders, abandoned, or starving because of inadequate care and lack of a…

The story begins with a meeting held in one night by the animals in farm. Because of the great dissatisfaction of their owner, animals decide to have a revolution, chasing away the farmers and realize the equality among animals.

Animals are born in the wild. They do not deserve to be locked in a cage like prisoners. It is not right. They do not do anything wrong. So why should humans hunt them and put them in cages and make others look at it? Animals are god’s creatures just like us. Imagine being locked up in a small cage, not getting enough food to eat and living in a dirty and poisonous place. I bet anyone cannot live like that for a day. It’s very wrong. Even it’s better for a person to live in a prison than animals…

I think that zoos should not be allowed because they need the freedom to roam around without boundaries of zoo walls. Animals in captivity may live longer, but they have the lack of the quality of life, don't get their natural instincts to hunt, and may not have the right care that they need to be able to live a happy and healthy life.

Animal captivity is a cruel, miserable, and an unhappy thing for animals in zoos. Zookeepers are not feeding animals enough food or giving animals enough space to play in the cages at zoos and aquariums, too.

Exotic animals are not pets. Would you like to have a snake crawling through your house? Or a jaguar lying on your couch waiting to bother with you and then attack? Titi monkeys, lemurs, seahorses, great green macaws, white bengal tigers, scorpions, and crocodiles are only some of the large list of animals that live with people and share their day to day life. They are kept as regular pets, even if they are not happy, safe or obtained legally. Therefore, people should not be allowed to…

Alice Walker, a famous activist, author, and poet once said, “The animals of this world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for whites.” Animals were not put on this earth to live in a cage, suffer, and be torn from their families and habitat, rather to live freely and happily in the wild. Whether they be in movies, zoos, circuses, or bullfighting rings, many animals are used as sources of entertainment for humans. Many times, however,…
