The Zoo; A fun filled place where families go to look at the exotic animals of the world while walking around eating some ice cream. The Circus; a jam packed night of entertainment with special performances made by clowns and theyre exotic sidekicks. But in between all the fun you're having not once do you stop and think of what these rare animals do once the zoo is closed and once the circus is not in town. Unfortunately, some of these animals are suffering adapting to their new lifestyle and location.According to the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA), places such as the Zoo, the Circus, Park attractions, and even breeders bring these exotic animals into a whole new place where they usually experience neglect and abuse. These animals, such as Tigers, Cougars, Leopards, Wolves, Bears, Primates, and more are taken away from their natural habitat. This alone is a major change these gorgeous creatures have to adapt to. Living a life of captivity and show biz isn't what these animals were trained to do causing a major psychological damage. The instincts they were naturally born with are no longer adaptable to their new "home."
Because of situations like these, the WSPA works along with the Peace River Refuge & Ranch in an attemp
t to provide the proper care and environment for these suffering exotic animals. Peace River Refuge & Ranch rescues such animals and place them in Sanctuaries; a certain place where animals are placed in sections according to what their naturally used to with the proper care and attention they need all according to what they have experienced.

The simple act of removing an animal from their natural habitat should be enough reason for an animal to be affected and unhappy. It would be the same as if you were just taken from your home and put in a completely different country with a different dialect and weather; You would obviously have a hard time adapting and finding your way around. So why put animals through such situation for our pure amusement?
