KEEPING
ANIMALS
IN
CAPTIVITY
For
Keeping
animals
in
captivity
is
extremely
important
for
many
reasons
.
Zoos
,
for
example
,
perform
a
vital
function
in
helping
to
(

____________________
children
and
allowing
them
to
(

)
____________________
the
wonders
of
nature
.
They
teach
children
to
(

)
____________________
animals
.
But
not
only
this
,
they
are
also
important
for
(

)
____________________
and
(

)

purposes
.
Zoos
protect
and
study
populations
of
species
that
are

in
the
wild
.
Without
this
contribution
,
such

could

As
for
pets
,
well
,
what
needs
to
be
said
really
?
They
are
our
constant

and
our
best
friends
.
They
keep
us
company
,
protect
us
,
love
us
and
appreciate
us
;
in
some
cases
,
the
bond
between
pet
and
owner
is
stronger
than
the
owner's
relationship
with
any
other
human
being
.
And
another
thing
;
people
like
to
bash
animal
testing
,
but
the
truth
is
that
without
it
we
wouldn't
be
able
to

some
of
the
most
deadly
diseases
.
Animal
testing
is
,
unfortunately
,
a
necessary
evil
;
in
order
to
advance
science
and
medicine
,
it
is
a
practice
that
must
be
employed
.
But
most
animals
in
captivity
are
not
subject
to
lab
tests
anyway
.
In
fact
,
the
vast
majority
benefit
from
their
relationship
with
humans
-
and
goodness
knows
,
we
benefit
from
our
relationship
with
them
,
too
.
Having
animals
around
makes
us
more

Keeping
animals
in
captivity
is
a
form

whatever
way
you
look
at
it
and
there
are
countless
examples
of
this
.
Take
the
circus
,
where
we
make
animals
perform
tricks
for
our

and
whip
them
when
they
do
not
.
If
that's
not
bad
enough
,
circus
owners
keep
their
animals
in
tiny

and
transport
them
all
around
the
country

barely
big
enough
for
them
to
fit
into
.
And
what
about
the
equestrian
world
?
The

of
the
horse
is
'broken'
out
of
it
(
that
is
even
the
verb
horsebreakers
use
.
.
.
)
and
it
is
'trained'
-
again
with
a
whip
-
to
be
obedient
and
forced
to
race
or
jump
,
and
risk
serious
harm
in
the
process
.
And
what
happens
when
a
horse
gets
injured
?
The
owners
simply
get
it

We
even
use
animals

We
test

new

on
animals

we
force
them

all
kinds

The
zoo
is
supposed
to
be

In

And
as
for
pets

well
,
we

If
