Road Side Zoo's are terrible places for animals, especially the Wild Animals that these said Zoo's hold. Roadside zoos are found throughout North America, particularly in remote locations. They are small, unregulated, for-profit zoos, often intended to attract visitors to some other facility, such as a gas station. The animals may be trained to perform tricks, and visitors are able to get closer to them than in larger zoos. Since they are unregulated, roadside zoos are notorious for instances of neglect and cruelty.
Animals big animals such as Tigers, Lions, Elephants, Hippo's and such other animals in Road Side Zoo's are normally in cages where they can barely move. Water buckets are moldy, animals pace insanely, different breeds are kept together. Breeding takes place alot mostly for more profit. Charging hundreds of dollars to get your picture taken with a baby tiger or other such thing.
These places should be shut down their horrible places for animals. Most all the animals are used and abused all for money. The well being of the animals is not considered. Best thing to do is not go to these places. Boycott even and petition for the place to close.
More information on Roadside Zoo's, this website is about one in Canada to give you and idea of what their all about.
I am highly against Road Side Zoo's. Hopefully you can see why.
