Zoos: a life without freedom

Zoos are prisons in which hundreds of animals are trapped for life for the sole purpose of entertaining visitors. In these prisons a huge variety of animals with the desire to be free are “exhibited” like the works of art in a museum. One visit to the zoo is enough for us to realise that, for the animals inside, what’s really missing is freedom. The cages, cells and other enclosed spaces are the 'homes' where many animals are forced to live far from their natural habitats and equally far from a satisfactory life.
