Lack of Freedom of Animals

First negative effect of capturing animals is lack of freedom. The animals should be in the place where they belong. An animals staying in the cage seem kind of tortured. Of course, they are tortured and for sure, it is hard time for animals to stay in the cage for the rest of their lives. “When we lose the right to be different, we lose the privilege to be free” (Hughes).Wild animals are supposed to live wildlife, supposed to hunt and survive as they live their own typical life.

Although some people claim that there is a quite natural environment in the zoo there is nothing natural about it.
