The poet wants to convey that it is cruel to keep the wild animals in small enclosures of the zoo, away from their natural habitat. They feel angry, helpless and unhappy and remember their life and environment in the forest.
  • Leslie Norris conveys a deep message through his poem 'A Tiger In The Zoo' by displaying the anger and frustration that the tiger experiences in the cage.
  • Then the poet explains how joyful the tiger's life would be in the natural habitat where he could 'slide through long grass, lurking in shadows, catch deer, etc.'
  • After that, the poet shares the plight of the tiger who is 'locked in concrete cells' and his helplessness to gaze stars from inside the cage to avoid thoughts of a free life. This reflects the poor animal's longingness to have the freedom to enjoy nature and live life freely.
  • This suggests that the poet conveys the message of 'not encaging animals for our own selfish purposes as they too do not like confinement and long for freedom like humans and wishes to have a free and fearless life.'
