I love all kinds of animals,

Dogs and cats and rabbits.

And have my own little zoo.

But they wouldn't be in cages,

They'd be free to sun around.

And there's one thing they would feel,

And that is safe and sound.

There is a lot of argument. Today, there are both wild-life parks and zoos. Some zoos are good; some are very bad. And there are many people who think that some animals, such as elephants and the big cats, lions and tigers, should never be taken from the wild. The opinion was given a lot of publicity in the early 1980's in Britain, when some trainers in a private zoo in England were killed by tigers and an elephant.
