Zoos are a place where animals are kept all day, instead of living in their own natural habitats. Animals are kept in different exhibits, where tourists can come and gawp at them.

Zoos contain important rare species in their captivity and revolve around human entertainment, rather than the animals. Although zoos can seem like this is all they do, it is…

Animals are shipped to and from different locations all over the world, and held in captivity for the rest of their lives for our viewing pleasure. We can ask: is this practice and…

Orcas in the wild swim up to 100 miles every day, in a zoo they are locked into a small cement box. Polar bears have evolved to live in hundreds to thousands of square kilometers and are forced to live in zoos millions of times smaller than the size of their natural home.

Pocahontas is the story of the British…
