If you are going to watch We Bought a Zoo Online, and have not heard about the tragic event in Zanesville, Ohio yet, you might get conflicting ideas. According to a source, a couple of weeks ago, the owner of a zoo in Zanesville released almost 50 wild animals before shooting himself to death. The animals were in turn put down by snipers to avoid posing danger to the public. Basing on this story, it is obviously not easy to run a zoo. PETA vice president Lisa Lange reminded people that wild animals are not Disney characters. That these animals also have special needs that most of the time are not met by people who just decides to buy them. Most of the time, these people who buy animals just do so because they think they are cute or cool. Without sufficient knowledge, the animals are in danger of dying due to the lack of proper nourishment or habitats that are conducive to their specific needs. The above mentioned animal rights activist also targeted the people who get involved in big cat auctions. She mentioned that in the United States alone, there are around 15,000 big cats in private captivity.
