Zoos and Aquariums are often perceived as amazing places to learn about animals in a fun and exciting environment. However, in reality zoos and aquariums are not as fun nor as exciting as they are thought to be. These wild and majestic animals are taken away from their natural environment, and placed in cages for the entertainment of others. Wild animals in captivity is wrong because it is inhumane, it shortens animal’s lifespan, and animals don’t have enough space. Firstly, wild animals in…
