"The Secretary of State's, Standards of Modern Zoo Practice" section "Animal Welfare in the Modern Zoo Environment" (15. Enclosure design should provide areas of escape from other animals and the public. 16. Animals often benefit from mixed species environments.

(c)it is not living in a wild state.
