Explanation of Solution

Captivity in case of animals refers in keeping them under control whether the animals may be wild or domesticated. It thus, includes the zoos, private homes or farms where they can be kept. There are certain number of times when the humans take care of those animals that are about to get critically endangered. So, these are kept in captivity. The animal’s body language interpret that they have feelings.

For example, there are many animals those who play with themselves like the dogs chase their own tails and the chimps stop eating or may even die when their friends die. Hence, it is not always important that the animals should be kept in captivity because for example, if the animal lives in a community and if that community is disturbed due to any reason, then the animals may react towards it, which could be bad. Hence, the animals should only be kept in captivity when they are harmful for the rest of the animals or humans. If the animals show emotions then they should be treated accordingly.

Conclusion

The animals those who possess emotions should not be kept in captivity unless and until there is a need for it to be done.
