This song is quite straightforward. Neko has been quite outspoken about her dislike of zoos, keeping wild animals caged up and the way they are 'euthanized' when they go crazy or when they have outlived their entertainment value. Her more recent song 'People Gotta a lot of Nerve' from Middle Cyclone revisits this same theme. She's also a huge supporter of animal rescue shelters that refuse to euthanize discarded pets.
The last lines about the tiger remembering his surrogate mother always brings a lump to my throat.
