Animals, when placed in captivity are more often than not separated from their siblings and their young. Why would their hearts not be broken? Ours would be.
The Captives

Francis X Reilly
Elephants have the saddest faces-
I know, I saw one cry today.
She looked at me and I looked back-
But soon I had to turn away.
Elephants say the saddest things-
One almost broke my heart today.
She closed her eyes and uttered this:
"My God...they took my son away."
