Petition Ban zoos and only permit wildlife sanctuaries that protect animal species

Animal species should be protected, not exploited. Animals should be safe and happy in sanctuaries, not zoos. The Government should ban zoos, and only permit wildlife sanctuaries, with higher animal welfare standards. This should result in more wildlife sanctuaries, with better habitats for animals.

More details

Animals are exploited for money and entertainment. They should be kept safe and happy with space to roam and live as they please, not showcased in a cage. Animals need space to live and should be given that. We believe animals in some zoos are not cared for adequately, and others are simply unhappy. Animals deserve to live in environments more similar to their natural habitats. We don't like isolation, why would they?
