A Zoo's Life

Far from what I want to think about, but reality.
   We still have places called zoos, just for amazing people to watch. Just for humans to have fun.
       
       I can't believe my eyes, that mowadays still people can   visit those dark prisons for the ones that amuse visitors.
       Joy for many and slavery for others.
 
      Living in a developed world, 
as soon as retrograd, where zoos are taught and shown to children,  as places where animals are grown happy in their "environment".
       Annoyed I am, disturbed about reality, about the cruelty of the human being.
     
  Someone up there, above us with more power, must be thinking how stupid we are mistreating such beautiful beloved beings, when we are, as human beings, the real zoo to be amazed.

Hello Maria, the zoo should have ares where the animals can run as far as they can but still be in the zoo. I do not think they should be caged. Give them room to run around. Enjoy your day my friend. /Darlene/

Hello Maria, I have seen a zoo on t.v. they are not in cages. They have another type of closurethat keeps them inside. Yet they have a lot of room to run around. Enjoy your day my friend. /Darlene\
