If you think
that it is impossible to take these animals out of captivity, you are wrong.
Many countries have already outlawed the use of animals in their circuses. Some
of these countries include Bolivia, China, Peru, Greece, and the United
Kingdom. Although animal captivity in circuses is only part of the problem, it’s
a step in the right direction, and it shows that we can overcome this
international issue.
On a different note, what about those marine parks, such as SeaWorld, that say they’re actually saving these animals by capturing them from the wild? They say that these animals are at risk and will die off if we don’t preserve them. Maybe if that were really true, we wouldn’t continue to have people passionately protesting daily at marine parks. Despite their claim, marine parks do not help to conserve marine mammals through their breeding programs. The marine mammals most often forced and bred into captivity are not classified as threatened or endangered. What does that mean? We really are just keeping them in captivity for our entertainment, not for their safety.
