The incident created an uproar, with the public debating either the mother’s parenting skills or the justification of killing in an emergency situation. The public outrage was of no avail, to an incarcerated animal who had no choice but to die at a place it never belonged. It is now more crucial than ever to question the relevancy

How would you feel? Angry? Scared? Annoyed? All of the animals in zoos feel like this. This shows that animals are not meant to be in zoos. They are not treated well and are only used for show and to make money. First of all, most animals in captivity, such as zoos, are treated unfairly. As www.peta.org says, “Animals are often prevented from doing most of the things that are natural and important to them, like running, roaming, flying, climbing, foraging, choosing a partner, and being with others

the ethical implications of holding animals in captivity for entertainment purposes. Zoos originated as an organization that held animals in captivity for viewing pleasure, but now claim to have evolved to become an educational and conservation institution.

even a little compassion, they begin to praise them when in reality the captors have only given them skewed freedoms. Yet, the captives begin to want to be a part of their community and begin to hate themselves for those thoughts. The narrator of Captivity strikes the earth uselessly in her dream where she yearns to be a part of a Native American ritual, because she knows she never can truly take part.
