Social media reaction

One user wrote, 'Growing up in a small village where we get exposed to unique creatures in their habitat. When I came to the USA I was so eager to go to the zoo to see those animals but it didn’t feel the same . There is this sadness that I see in their eyes that I couldn’t explain. That was my last time at the zoo.'

Another user said, 'The only prison where all prisoners are innocent.'

A third user commented, 'What a small enclosure for an animal that could track miles in an hour. Extremely sad.'

Another wrote, 'Wow look how tiny that enclosure is. You can see people on the other side walking around, not even 20 feet away. How sad.'
