Sign this petition to call for a ban on zoos around the world! Animals are kept in small habitats and often suffer emotional distress. Zoos are harmful to wildlife and do not help with conservation efforts, as they most commonly publicize. It’s time to stop pretending zoos are useful tools for conservation and animal well-being. Seeing animals on tv or in documentaries in their natural habitat is a real educational tool. Zoos were created in a time before television, before nature documentaries and extensive travel. And often, animals held in zoos cannot be released back into the wild due to learned zoo behaviors. But this breeding just perpetuates animals for zoos. Many zoos say they play important roles in breeding animals. According to Outside, the average lifespan of an elephant in captivity is 17 years, 39 years shorter than elephants in the wild. They are not given ample room to exercise or for mental stimulation. According to PETA, animals needs are often overlooked. Animals are often under stressful conditions. Cages in zoos are designed to furnish the best viewing experience for people.
