The range of animals goes from tigers to deer, to pandas and kangaroos. The animals featured in heritage are ideal but are impossible, they are prey and predator. The artwork symbolizes tranquility and peace, the animals have been arranged in a way that there is no hierarchy, there is no leader. The only movement in this world of ideal is a drop of water, it’s…

Are there dangers in zoos toward animals held in captive? The correct answer is yes, there are many. Elaborating on that, zoos should not be holding large animals in captive.

In my opinion i think that zoos are inhumane for many reasons. One, they don't get to live and survive in their natural habitat.Which could alter their species completely.And may cause some changes physically. One con is that there is hardly any space for the animals to roam and play.It can't be fixed by adding on to the exhibits and possibly sending the animals to another new zoo. They could do that so less animals get taken against their will to a zoo.That way less animals would get harmed.…
