are zoos n circus right place for animals????

I personally feel that a circus is not a good place for animals. they are usually not well cared for, have small cages, are stressed out by traveling a lot (which causes most animals a good deal of undue stress), and are usually treated cruelly in order to force them to perform. A good deal of the zoos today, however, have made it as natural a setting for their animals and most are well cared for. I think a lot of zoos do a good service to the preservation of animals, because if people can see them up close, they are more apt to want to help preserve the species, and a lot of zoos are helping to preserve a species through breeding programs, which help out a lot of naturally dying species...the conservation of the animals is the most important thing.

i dont like circuses but if we didnt have zoos, then we wouldnt have the opportunity to create breeding programs for animals that are endangered... these programs are designed to be able to replenish the animals in the wild if needed...i think thats a good thing.... and something that will benefit generations to come and our environment. zoos are getting better with where they house their animals so i dont think its as cruel as it once was and as i said they are trying to breed endangered animals to keep the species going.

i think they must be in the forests. and they need the freedom.

i dont think so their home is natural forest and nothing can replace them

Animals should not be kept in circus, in my opinion. I will not answer about zoos, since I have no data to comment on it. But on circus, no, never. There are great circus (Soleil, for one), that use no animals and give great shows.

The circus-NO. The zoo is a place where animals that would not normally survive where they were found can be safe.

I used to work at Disney's Animal Kingdom, I personally feel that place is the right place or just having them be free out in the wild like places like Africa or Australia.

i dONT think animals should be made to perform as it amounts to cruelty but animals STAYING IN zoos is for their safety as well as ours

i think with the advent of television and the wider availability of air flight to more exotic destinations to far more people than ever before there are no reasons to keep animals in zoos at all. I have always thought making animals perform in circuses is just wrong, it can not be excused and should be illegal all over the world.

No, the animals must be free not in zoo's, if it's a species that is in danger then it shoud be keep in special places to protect them. A lot of zoo's are very ugly and dirty, so the animals are not trated corectly and good, a sad thing if you look at them and see the animals sad, do you agree?

hi, good evening In my point of view zoos and circus are not at all safe place. There they tame the animals very rudely.They beat them very hard.Sometimes i get angry on the people who are rude towards animals.In my view they should kept in forests. And leave them very free or freedom.No one had a right to keep them in circus.
