Zoos are prisons!

These are entertainment centers where wild animals are exhibited in solitary confinement, with the main aim of satisfying the curiosity of visitors.

Unfortunately, animals exhibited are in complete control and live in very different conditions from those that live in the wild. Sadly, this captivity suppresses the natural instincts of wild animals and these suffer permanent frustration because they have no freedom and cannot behave as they would do in their natural environment. This leads to a tendency toward genetic, physical, and behavioural degeneration.

Various studies have proved that zoos have failed to make significant contributions in the conservation of endangered species, or the protection of their natural habitats. Captive breeding in these facilities for wildlife conservation purposes is not a relevant strategy in all its actions.

Also, zoos do not educate the public about how to help to protect and conserve the species. They continue to perpetuate a negative image of the use of animals for entertainment.

Many animals in zoos live in unacceptable conditions and it is heart-wrenching to see them sad, frustrated and lifeless!!
