Closed Ban the use of zoos as a tourist attraction

Closed on

Zoos set a limit on animal freedom, it is wrong that just because we are the dominant and most forward thinking species that we should capture and restraint the freedom of other animals for our own entertainment. I am petitioning to end animal captivity and give every animal the freedom it deserves.

The world is developing at an extremely fast rate and traditions are not the only things fading out. It is estimated that 99% of all species that have lived on earth are now extinct, and over 150,000 become extinct every day. these animals have limited lives as it is, and it isn't right for us as a dominant and prosperous species to constrain the animals to a restricted life in a cage.
