Zoos are inhumane‚ some of the reasoning for this is because the animals become stressed in captivity.

I got to the zoo at around eleven in the morning and found out the feeding times for the gorillas. Once I found them‚ after watching them for a little while I selected the most active group to go watch during feeding.

According to Hobbes‚ causing harm without a cause creates an environment where a certain type of war thrives: cruelty (Hobbes 1996‚ 101) Hobbes argues that men never stop struggling for respect‚ recognition and worth‚ leading to jealousy‚ enmity‚ and‚ ultimately conflict and war amongst men (Hobbes 1996‚ 113) Hobbes argues that a high number of men try to take affairs into their own hands‚ controlling businesses‚ but do it differently‚ and this entertains the possibility of civil war (Hobbes 1996
