Look for the main ideas in this passage about people who don’t like how circuses treat animals.

Animal rights groups like PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) are opposed to the use of wild animals as circus performers. These groups claim that it is cruel to make wild animals live in conditions that are not similar to their natural environments. For example, on their Web site, PETA points out that wild animals do not naturally ride bicycles or jump through flaming hoops or even run around in tight circles. Forcing animals to do these things in a circus ring does not respect their rights, according to PETA and other animal rights groups.

Which answer includes both of the main ideas in the passage?

1 Animal rights groups don’t like the way that circuses treat elephants or big cats like
lions and tigers
.
2 Asking an elephant to ride a bicycle or a lion to jump through fire is not a good
source of entertainment.

3 Animal rights groups oppose using wild animals in circuses because circuses force
the animals to live in a way that is unnatural for them.

3.) Animal rights groups oppose using wild animals to live in a way that is unnatural for them.

I know this is right because the text specifically says that Animal Rights Groups, oppose this, and also in the text it said that wild animals do not do circus acts because it's not something that they were doing naturally.

Hope this helps and have a nice day.
