Zoos are inhumane, because the animals are mistreated and abused, therefore they develop health issues, and they don't provide enough environmental space .Zoo’s claim to be educating visitors, but have people ever wondered what happens after hours, or after the zoo closes? Zoo’s tend to hide the ugly truth with attractions and pretty baby animals that you normally wouldn't see around your home or even in the woods around your home .
