Some people dislike zoos and some people enjoy them.
Wild animals are kept in captivity for a variety of reasons... For research, education, conservation, entertainement.
Some argue it's not good for the animals. It's not good for the animals to be put in unnatural settings. These animals are tightly confined, lack privacy, and have little opportunity for physical exercise.
The final question asked by many people is: Is it really necessary to keep animals in captivity?

Yes, there are many pros and cons about zoos. I enjoy the animals but at the same time i feel sorry for them as they are out of their environment. They are safe from hunters and well fed,but would they be better left alone and let nature take its course. You could debate about this all day long. This photo has a sadness about it,but it IS a great photo. I voted!

The cropping gives this image the feel of an abstract.
