Why my daughter horrifies to see animal caged, restrained and captivated in zoos & aquariums

It sounds like you've raised a compassionate daughter who realizes that wild animals were not meant to spend their lives pacing around cages for the sake of human entertainment. I would be very proud to have such an empathetic child.

Because she has been cruely brainwashed by her parents.

What is your question? Why is she horrified? Because she has compassion that many people don't. Ask her why it horrifies her. She knows better than any of us.

She is just ignorant. Animals in zoos and aquariums live much longer lives in captivity than they would in the wild. Matter of fact, zoos and aquariums have helped the population of several species of endangered animals. There are veterinarians nearly always available on call if something is wrong, the animals are well fed and people make careers out of being animal caretakers in such places.

She is horrified by it because she knows it is morally and ethically wrong, but you should explained to her that most animals in zoos would be killed by poachers if in the wild. You should take her to a wild life reservation where animals are allowed to have freedom.

She probably knows that she would hate to spend the rest of her life locked in her bedroom and assumes the animals must feel the same.You just can not provide the same comforts or life styles to some thing thats not in its natural environment. Very smart girl.

I do not like to see animals caged either, I say let the animals go home, and put the human animals in their vacant cages.

Because people have gotten all whiny & p.c. about zoo is & crap. They r animals, u can not deny that basic fact. They can not reason, they do not have rationale minds. They r not sad & most do not have a clue that they r not in the wild anyways.
I know I am going to get bashed on this, so go ahead, slam me & prove that u have no room for someone who disagrees with you. I love animals & I love going to the zoo. But people r ruining it by screwing up kids minds so they r terrified when their parent tries to spend a nice family day with them.

She feels as I do, it is not good to cage them & put them on display. I can not stand fish tanks either. I would love to see all zoos go away. I know some of these animals would be dead if not for the zoos but I think they r there for someone elses gain & it is bad carma for all of us that participate & allow it. My 2 cents, she is a sensative person & will always be feeling other creatures & peoples feelings. It is not an easy place to be but I am grateful for the ability as it is a blessing many times more than it is a curse.

Is English you second language?

She has been traumatized. It is not pretty.
Some people think they are doing their children a favor and they are not.
My son went fishing with my dad, and fell in love with the fish before they could get home and clean it. He cried like a baby.
I wanted to raise him vegetarian from that day and was outvoted. Later on, we did go that way a while, and now as adult, he is back eating meat.

good, she was raised correctly in at least that regard

My daughter is the same way...She absolutely refuses to even go to a pound

My guess is that she feels it is wrong and cruel. Not rocket science.
