When you see a photo of an animal that is considered a wild animal with such a sad look on their face do you ever wonder what is going on in their minds? I often wonder if they are questioning why they are closed up in a cage instead of running around free they way they were intended to be. Don't get me wrong, I love looking at wild animals but I wish there was a better way for all of them to live out their lives while we enjoy watching them do so. The places that let them roam and take care of them are my choice of a place to go. I believe most of them are called Wild Kingdoms. I don't know what made me think about this today but no that I have I can't seem to get it off my mind. What do you think?

That is the first thing I always think of about animals in cages Susan. How sad it must be.

@TiarasOceanView I love to see them, they are so beautiful but don't like seeing them in cages. I think about how I would feel being inside a cage watching them on the outside.

@Shavkat I don't know. Even if he could be eaten it would make me feel bad to do so.

I feel sad too. Human kind always thinks they can rule the world and everything, they taunt other animals, and even taunt and torture people of their own kind. That's very bad and cruel to torture other living things and make fun. Some day bad fortune may befall on human kind. Hopefully it would not happen.

Humans can be cruel and often are to animals. I understand wanting to view these beautiful creatures but I still feel bad for the poor caged animals.

I always think that animals have their own feelings. I just hope that they will be treated well in the zoo. We already took their freedom, so it is fair for us to feed them something good and give them a better living environment.

I do understand it can be a hard life fending for themselves but I have to say I believe if they had a choice they would choose freedom.

No one likes to be caged. Especially wild animals. I hate to go to the zoo because of this. And animals need companions. Their own kind is good. Someone to hang out with.

@HazySue .....I think this is why a lot of dogs bark and carry on out of boredom.

@celticeagle I agree I do believe that animals need to be with their own kind, I believe they do need socialization.

I feel sad looking at them too. Sometimes their cages are so small too. Animals were not meant to be changed but unfortunately this has nowadays become a business

@Nawsheen it can be a cruel business. I think animals are meant to be free.

I hate to see animals in cage, it's worse than to keep an innocent man in a small jail for all his life. This is wrong.

I'm with ya there @HazySue . I guess it would be akin to prisoners being in jail; except for one thing......the prisoners have more rights than the animals do.

That is so true. Many times they end up in a cage and neglected and mistreated and it raises the question of who can they tell. At least as a human you can verbalize what is happening to you.

I also wish there is a better way for them to live. We have a place in Israel called Safari and the animals have a much bigger area to run around in. I would have that same look if I was caged up like that too.

I think living in their natural habitat seems to be the best for them.

The monkey looks like he is in deep thought. Probably wondering why he is a cage instead of being free to run around as you mentioned in your post. Very sad

I think you are probably correct. We do now that they have the ability to think. It must be heartbreaking to them.
