Please let me know what I need to edit.
Summary: In the article "Free the Elephants and Orcas in Captivity [Editorial]" by the Editors, the author argues that because animals have emotions, intelligence and self-awareness, they are similar to humans and therefore should not be held in captivity.
The author uses the example of self-concept to support his argument because it shows that animals have cognitive abilities and are capable of forming thoughts and beliefs like humans can. He supports his argument further by using the example of martriline clans. This example shows that animals can interact, like people, in large communities that are akin to human nations. The author draws near the end of the article by using the example of zoo elephants and the physical and psychological effects that captivity inflicts on them. He uses this example to show that the conditions in which captive animals live have the same effects that it would have if human were in prison. The author concludes the article by suggesting that people release all captive animals back into the wild and bring all captive breeding programs to an end.
