No personally animals should not be held in captivity, although yes some animals are safer while being held in captivity some zoos, particularly roadside attractions are extremely mismanaged and horrible for animal care. Animals suffer from neglect, small cages, etc. Animals love being in their natural habitat but many animals kept in zoos are forced to become domestic pets. Along with that up to 5000 animals are killed a year in zoos(Only in Europe).
Elizabethan era! .. or some say jacobean times, either or really
It depends on what your goal is.
A maverick is an unorthodox individual who lives fairly independently.
The negative connotation associated with being a maverick is that you don't get along with groups but are usually fairly successful.
So, if you are okay being independent and unorthodox, great. If you are bothered by the connotation that you don't get along well with groups, then you likely are not okay with it.
