<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Economica; font-size: 18pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Animals shouldn’t be held captive. They should be free and out in the wild. Think about it, If it was us living in cages and the animals out and free, how would you feel ? They shouldn’t be kept in zoos because It's very cruel.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Economica; font-size: 18pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Reason 1:</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Economica; font-size: 18pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In my opinion, Animals are a gift from God, So we should treat them, how we want to be treated. Plus, keeping animals in cages does nothing to help the animals in the wild. If the zoos really wanted to save animals, they would be helping protect animals from their natural habitats, not keeping them in cages. Animals have a right to live freely in the wild, They are living creatures just like us and no one has us in cages. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Economica; font-size: 18pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Reason 2:</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Economica; font-size: 18pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Animals need their families in their lives just like we do. It's not fair that we take away the animals from their family when they are babies. They don’t get to grow up with their families like us. Animals have feelings, they feel pain too. Animals need their families so they can learn how to behave naturally, for example: A baby bird need their parents to learn how to fly. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Economica; font-size: 18pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Reason 3:</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Economica; font-size: 18pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Animals in zoos suffer from boredom and depression. By going to zoos you are supporting this and you are a terrible person. Example: Say you are a baby elephant living in the wild, then all of a sudden you are taken away from your parents and forced to live in a little cage for the rest of your life with elephants you do not know. How would you feel ?</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Economica; font-size: 18pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Conclusion:</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Economica; font-size: 18pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In conclusion, Treating every animal separately, letting them do what they wish. If an animal wants to live away, let them. Animals are equally precious and should equally share God’s earth as humans instead of being caged like they are in jail. They deserve the freedom we humans have.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "ubuntu"; font-size: large; white-space: pre-wrap;">After a long day at the beach, it is now time to move away from the water and drive inland, through the middle of the south island. You are going to start in Nelson and drive south before crossing a huge mountain range called the ‘Southern Alps.’ The scenery is going to be amazing!</span></div>

It is a beautiful, regional park located at the base of the Southern Alps. You and your group get out of the van and follow Curious Kiwi. He is going to lead you on a short walk through the park. As you start walking, you notice a really cool looking tree on the side of the trail and you stop to take a closer look. When you turn back, the group (and Curious Kiwi) is nowhere to be found. Eek! You are all alone in the middle of a strange forest.</span></span></div>

You stop at the</span><span style="color: #3c78d8; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><a href="https://www.skycityauckland.co.nz/attractions/sky-tower/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #3c78d8; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sky Tower</span></a><span style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, the tallest building in all of New Zealand. When you look up, you see a huge New Zealand flag on the top of the tower. This flag was created back in 1902. That makes the New Zealand flag 115 years old! </span></div>
