It really seems like a trade off. Animals seem “happy” and “free” out in nature, but are they? They have to be on guard every single second because something might eat them. If they get injured, that is an absolute death sentence. There is no safety net. They have to weather harsh weather conditions. They are at risk for being eaten alive and enduring a slow agonizing painful death by other animals that do not care one iota about their well-being At least in captivity they are safe. I don’t see how we as humans are all that different in how most of us choose to live our lives
