Zoo Essay If you wer were e an animal, and you wer were e forced to be put in a pen full of unusual resour resources ces inside of it that you had n no o idea how to use or what it is, what woul would d you like? In Sourc Source e 2 “The Sad, Sad truth Abou Aboutt Zoos” it explains how animals in zoos are not used to compact pens an and d temper temperature ature change.

Instead of keeping them in

This is a way zoos can be better and more efficient if they do this and mor more e likely people will donate to them....
