Answer:
The tiger, a symbol of fearless power, is angry and agonizing because of his confinement, and would much rather be free in the wild. The beast has been turned into a docile creature to the amusement of humans, and the tone in Norris´ poem indicates that it´s a sad situation that should not happen.
Explanation:
"A Tiger in the Zoo" is a poem by George Leslie Norris (1921-2006). Based on his work, Norris would most likely agree that animals have the right to freedom and should not be caged, because his description of a caged tiger reveals his feelings about the matter. All animals have the right to be free, especially when their confinement is only aimed at entertainment in disregard of animals' rights.
