All of the animals think that he is talking to them. Once Mr. Peek figures out that he really had the wrong jacket the whole time, he walks back through the zoo praising himself this…

environment does not adequately provide for this, these mannerisms turn into aggressive behaviour which can be directed towards the owner. The animals also don’t develop the social skills required to function alongside their species (Association of Zoos and Aquariums, n.d.). As described by The Humane Society of the United States, keeping them as pets “does not take the wild out of the wildlife” (2009).

A panther had been seen at a home in Kapan in north-eastern Kathmandu, where instances of panther sightings have been…
