“Poor bear, so bored with nothing to do."
Have you ever said something along these lines? Have you ever overheard this at a public zoo or a pet store? Yes is most likely the answer. This is a typical occurrence and a blatant illustration of the clash with anthropomorphism, notwithstanding unfamiliarity with the species in question, or even that animal as an individual.
People frequently misinterpret animal misery, hostility, and even delight. The 'fake dolphin smile,' which will be plastered on the faces of bottlenose dolphins even while they attack helpless porpoises in the wild, is frequently mentioned by animal rights activists. When many animals such as dolphins, dogs, and even snakes open their mouths, they appear to have this particular expression --> :D
Other creatures, by their very nature, appear unhappy, if not outright depressed. Some animals don't need to do anything special to appear unhappy, but most animals will appear unhappy just by laying down with their heads on the ground.
As a result, any animal that adopts this common sleeping posture may irritate those who already harbor anti-captive animal feelings. When you add in the fact that you're witnessing it via prison bars, it's completely heartbreaking.
