   There are allot of reasons why I thinkanimals should not be taken out of there natural habitat, then put into zoos. We may not be able to understand or here them telling us its a bad sitouation in a zoo, but we can still see there pain and suffering. Just by thinking of how you would feel if you were in there shose, loked up in those cramped stressfule cages. People never stop to think how they are feeling in there new enviroments at the zoo because there to busy seeing what the zoo keepers want us to see - cute little animals. But onestly all we do is waste our money to go see caged up animals for entertanement. How would you like it if you were taken from your rights, familys, friends and your home just to be taken to a weird strange place, to be put in a tiny fake habitat cage. Were it has no good and all it is is stress, well I dont think the animals like that at all. I would be definetly against animals being taken from there natural habitat, then put into cages. We all need to smarten up and learn how to protect our world and what surounds us before its to late and its all gone, just by our doings of distruction.

   One reason why Im against animals being taken out of there natural habitat and then put into zoos. Is because animals are taken out of the wild every day, from freedome, animal rights and more. They get shoved into cages so that people can pay to watch poor animals for entertanement. They were born in the wild and should live and die in the wild. For what? to see something different? I mean, just because we're higher on the food chain we think we can do whatever the heck we want with the planet and its many non-human inhabitants.No matter how big some zoos try to make the enclosures, no matter how many branches they put in them, no matter how beautiful they make the background paintings on the wall, they don't compare with the natural habitat the animals were meant to be in. Zoo animals have to spend day after day, week after week, year after year in the exact same enclosure. Another reason is that zoo keepers canot exibit their natural behavior charactoristics, that would normally be present in the wild. Wich causes stress, disorganization and affects there health and the well-being of the animals. Some signs of stress  that you can see in zoo animals are pacing backwards and forwards, head bobbing, rocking, repeatedly retracing their steps, sitting motionless or biting themselves. The scientific term for repetitive behaviors in captive animals is "Abnormal Repetitive Behavior" also know as ARB. These behaviors are caused by conditions like depression, boredom and psychoses. Some zoos actually give anti-depressants or tranquillizers to control the behavior problems of some of their animals. Also there are surplus animals, surplus animals are when animals are bread to make baby animals for a new exibit. The baby animal atracts alot of crouds, but when the baby has out grown its cutness. They eather sell it for livestock, fead it to there other zoo animals or kill it. Selling animals is a profitable way for zoos to dispose of them. Dealers will sell them to hunting ranches, pet shops, circuses, the exotic meat industry and research facilities. Surplus animals are also found for sale on the internet.

   A couple of other reasons why Im against animals being taken out of there natural habitat for zoos are. Many other exotic pet species have been bred in captivity for many years, and could probably be considered to be at least partially domesticated. However, being bred in captivity for even several generations does not make an animal domesticated, and the animal's wild instincts tend to be retained -- and depending on the animal, these wild instincts can be potentially destructive or dangerous. Also they loose there wild instinct when we take them in when there sick. Its normal for them to get hurt, its called the wild. But if we keep taking them in and they forget there wild instinct and we release them they might not survive in the wild. Or they might try to use humans homes and trashed to relie on, sence they are so use to being near human habitats.Also becauseAnimal Rights is a movement that intends to protect all animals from being exploited and abused by humans. This includes the use of animals for anything that causes them pain and suffering, such as medical experimentation, imprisonment in circuses and zoos, and fur production. The Animal Rights movement has very different objectives than animal welfare. While welfare activists fight for a more humane treatment of animals in general, animal rights activists want animals to be considered as individuals, rather than property.

   Some might disagrea because they think its ok if there on the animal endangered list or when they see the animals at the zoo, they just see it as a normal thing and think the animals are happy. Like there blind to there pain and sufering. They may seem happy to you but there not, if you look closer there - stuck in cages, with little space, to much care (no independance or privacy), theres lots of stress pushed on them and they have there animal rights, but there always ignored. They may be on the endangered list, but their there in the first place because of us. So if we take them away from there wild instinct,how in the world are they going to replenish. How about consitering conservation. Also yes it is a normal thing to see but in realety it shouldent, just because we made something known now dosent mean we can make it unknown later in the future. Change is could but some certain things shouldnt be change, such as animals living in there natural enviroment.

  There fore animals should not be taken out of them natural habitate and away from there freedome, familys, friends and animals rights, to be put into cages at the zoo. For people to pay to stare at them, what type of life is that. What if you were in there situation? How would you feel? Why do we even call it animal rights when were doing animal wrongs in the world. Some one has to stand up and speak out for them, who else would understan animal rights-maybe us-(human rights). There are many, many reasons why I think taking animals out of there natural habitates to be put into zoos and for any other reasons is readiculously horrible.
