citizens should learn how cruel it really is. Imagine living in a world where all animals are living in the wildlife rather than behind bars. As shown in Bronx Zoo studies, captive animals have a shorter life span. In fact, the article “Free-Willy-And All His Pals”, states that zoo animals often die young after becoming obese and
