2. Have you ever thought how selfish we are as human beings? Just look at their eyes. Do we have the right to restrict other creatures' freedom like this?

3. Just Think… Across the world, thousands of animals and birds live in appalling conditions in zoos, circuses, and private enclosures. Even in modern zoos, lions and tigers are seen pacing restlessly , deprived of their hunting and territorial instincts. Today, wild tigers are in crisis . With fewer than 5,000 left in the wild , their greatest threat is human activity — habitat destruction, poaching, and captivity. India has the largest population of wild tigers, but only ~1,500 survive . Major threats include mining, dam building, farming, deforestation, and illegal wildlife trade.
