They Need A Lot of Space Many people visit aquariums hoping to catch a glimpse of sharks up close. Especially the great white, but no exhibit like this exists anywhere in the world. Since 1955, numerous attempts have been made by aquariums to place great white sharks into captivity. 6. Captivity Causes Depression Marine biologists believe that because we are unable to create a suitable artificial environment for great whites in captivity causes them to become depressed. They aren’t at all happy with their new environment. 5. They Injure Themselves A common behavior among great whites in captivity is to ram their heads into the walls of their tanks. There are several theories for why this happens. Some scientists believe that being in a tank disrupts the great white’s keen sense of electroreception, which allows them to sense the electrical charges in the water around them, making it difficult for sharks to detect the tank walls. 4. It’s Expensive From the very first steps of capturing and transporting a great white shark to keeping one in captivity, exhaustive resources are required. When the Monterey Bay Aquarium was tasked with transporting a 4-foot-long great white from Malibu to northern California in 2004, a custom mobile tank had to be built. 3. Not Good For Viewing The introduction of a great white shark exhibit would most likely result in many disappointed customers. A tank large enough to accommodate a great white shark would be impractical in size, making it difficult for hopeful spectators to catch a consistent, close view of the predator. 2. They Do Not Survive in Captivity Generally, there are two possible outcomes when a great white is placed in confinement: death or release back into the wild after a short stint at an aquarium, usually refusing to eat and injuring itself. 1. Public Perception Is Changing Information about the effects of confinement on certain species has become more transparent and accessible than ever in recent years. Documentaries such as Blackfish and The Cove have brought widespread attention to the inhumane nature of keeping marine life in captivity.

Yet along comes man, and proves once again that man excels at killing anything and everything it touches.
Sharks have evolved little to none over millions of years, and have thrived.
Man on the other hand has gone through several notable evolutionary changes in a relatively small amount of time....and is still just barely hanging on.
Sharks are the clear winners here.

6) captivity causes depression
5) they injure themselves
4) it's expensive
3) not good for viewing
2) they don't survive in captivity
1) public perception is changing
I have wished I could own a small, endangered species and illegally exotic pets, zoo. Animals rescued from black markets and private zoos that have suffered so that they could not be returned to the wild. It could promote the protection of animals by showing some of the abuse they suffered (like having teeth pulled, nail, claws, even toes or fingers of primates cut off).
It would be healthy to find a way for the animals to interact with humans, safely (for both sides), not only to stir compassion in people but the animals could use the mental stimulation opposed to just seeing humans walk around, looking at them.
All of the animals were so happy.
Theres just some animals that aren’t supposed to be kept in captivity.
Like orcas and great whites and other animals.
(And its still there) ;3
