It is not good to keep animals in a zoo

That is animal abuse and they should not do that because then the animals are the ones that attack us, they are living beings that feel like we do and with this we cause them to no longer trust us.

I think people have a bad idea, animals must live in the forest because they can't live in the circus. They not a pet.
