(3) For one thing, a zoo animal is provided with daily meals and does not have to endure the constant search for food. (4) In the wild, that animal would spend its every waking moment trying to avoid starvation. (5) In a zoo environment, however, that same animal can spend its days relaxing or romping with its fellow creatures. (6) Second, a zoo animal is safe and protected.
