Bad things about zoos: Some zoos use cement cages and don't let animals stand on their own two (or more) feet. This causes them to be unable to look after themselves. Another thing many zoos do that is bad is separating and isolating pack animals. They're called pack animals for a reason. When taken away from their pride, pack, pod, flock or herd it is possible that animals will die. In many zoos, not only do they isolate the animals, they put them in cages with concrete floors, and bars. I think another reason is that some cages dont have a lot of room for the animals to roam around and let the animals feel free. The cage the animals are in is about a million times smaller than the home they could have in the wild. I think zoos should still function but have much better facilities. Some zoos don't have toilets for the people or a place to buy food. Plus they hurt the animals because sometimes they put chains on them that could rub against their skin making it sore. They don't always do what the animal wants. They also don't let the animals mate freely, instead they try to control the animals.
