Did you know there’s more than one word with ‘zoo’ in it? Zoo is typically thought of to be an exhibit of animals for public viewing‚ but it’s also a prefix in words like‚ ‘zoophobia’ and‚ ‘zoonomy’. There’s many others‚ but the focus here is ‘zoology’. Zoologists are known to study how animals behave and in what way they interact with different species and living spaces.

I believe that keeping animals in captivity is wrong. Keeping them in cages will cause them to feel isolated‚ because no matter what‚ one can’t copy their environment.

The poem is about a panther that is trapped in a cage and is also is tired and weak. He tries desperately to escape‚ so he paces back and forth as a way of saying he won’t be tamed.

He wouldn’t want to rush in and ruin his one chance at freedom. It was a bizarre plan‚ but Tippens felt as though it would prove to be successful as long as he followed
