So why make animals suffer by shutting them up for our fun?Shut up the zoos instead!Posted by: Emily on April 19,at 18:12 Comments (3)CommentsI partly agree. But some zoos arent there for our fun. Ive just got back from Jersey Zoo. It saves rare(珍稀） animals and breeds them. Then it returns the babies to the wild. Not all zoos are the same,you know.Posted by: Angela on April 21, at 18:17Quite agree! Every time I go to the zoo, I never look into the poor animals eyes! Kept in the small and smelly cages, they look so lonely and sad. Hope one day they will return to nature, where they can live happily and freely with their families.Posted by: John on April 22, at 12:21Personally, I think zoos are fantastic places for children.
