Zoos keep animals in small habitats and treat the animal unfair, it also breaks the right of animals living in the wild.
Hook
Space is limited and animals can become stressed, lonely and bored.
Animals are deprived of their natural habitat and their encounters in the wild
Argument 2: Animals depend on humans more than instincts
Animals see humans everyday which can be uncomfortable for the animal and can make it stressed
Because they are being taken care of by humans they can live longer but that also means that they have a lower quality of life that they might not like, they also don't have to work too much to get food, usually it's just a simple trick to wow the crowd.
Animals are feed by humans and see humans everyday, this can lead to them relying more on humans than their natural instincts and their species
