PETA

PETA or People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals is an organization that is against animals in captivity.  The rest of this blog is PETA's view on captivity. Their view is that zoos and their cramped enclosure deprive the animals of their basic needs and that they are regularly bought, sold, borrowed, and traded with no regard to established relationships. They breed animals because the sight of baby animals brings in people, but once they grow out of their "cuteness" they are useless. Zoos still take animals from the wild and deprive hem of their basic instincts such as flying, swimming, running, hunting, climbing, scavenging, foraging, digging, exploring, and selecting a partner. Also they don't realize the physical and mental instability captivity can put on animals.
"PETA was founded in 1980 and is dedicated to establishing and defending the rights of all animals. PETA operates under the simple principle that animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment. PETA educates policymakers and the public about animal abuse and promotes kind treatment of animals. PETA is an international nonprofit charitable organization based in Norfolk, Virginia, with affiliates worldwide."
