I hate it. I hate seeing how the animals look through their eyes. They may just be animals, but they can still have emotions. They can still feel and the longer they're trapped there, the harder it'll be to set them free in the wild. It sucks. I hope zoos cease to exist.
I don't support zoos at all. No matter how "happy" these animals seem, it's still not where they're supposed to be. They're trapped. It's like a jail. They're teased and held behind bars and will be hurt if they try to attack. For what? For a human's entertainment.
-being there and get hit as soon as they do as a "discipline" of some sort, would you accept it? Some animals have scars. Imagine a child with scars hidden under clothing just to entertain. Would you go to that "zoo" and pay a fee, which helps it, just to be "entertained"? No.
