Ban all zoos

Closed 53 signatures

What the petition asks

We think zoos are animal prisons and all animals deserve to be free to live in their natural habitat that God created for them. We think it's so sad that they will never experience or be able to use the abilities that God gave them because they are locked away.
We feel that animals have no use in a zoo at all. All animals should be freed and released back into the wild. We think that animals understand fully that they are trapped with no escape. This is not how they should be treated. There are plenty of books and programs that can educate children, without the need of robbing animals of their freedom.
