Roadside zoos‚ petting zoos‚ and smaller animal exhibitors tend to keep the animals in smaller pens or cages.

Zoos are inhumane‚ some of the reasoning for this is because the animals become stressed in captivity. The noises and‚ on occasion‚ anything being thrown into the enclosure can stress them and force them into a depression.
