In this modern world where anyone can readily find professional quality photos and videos of wild animals in their natural habitat, along with detailed descriptions of how the animals live in the wild, what they eat, how many miles they roam, etc., it is very sad and anachronistic to see the animals in the tiny Mill Mountain Zoo locked up in their cramped, dirty, and barren enclosures. The animals all look weary and bleak and none display the vigor and liveliness of their wild brethren that we all seem to cherish. They are unlucky prisoners in their dusty jails put there only for humans' selfish pleasure. In the 21st century, there is no longer a need to imprison proud animals for our small entertainment. The animals already there are doomed, they can not be released back into the wild, lest they die within a few days. But we can do something to prevent future enslavement of nature's beautiful animals. Stop supporting the zoo and pray that the zoo will close forever.
