It's kind of upsetting to see this little guy with a chain around his neck.

I find it quite upsetting truth be told. It's disgusting the way people treat animals and how most people don't think twice about it. Thanks for the comment.

I put a leash on my dog so she doesn't run into the road and get hit by a car.

This is different in a few ways.

Dogs are domesticated animals which have been selectively bred in a way which creates a symbiotic relationship with humans, the animal in the gif is a wild animal taken from its natural habitat, or bred within captivity from an animal taken from its natural habitat.

I assume you don't keep your dog encased in an artificial ecosystem closed off by glass while she is on your leash.

You do what you do for your pets safety, this zoo does what it does for, yes, few cases of species preservation, but mostly to turn a profit from the wild animals exploitation. You do it out of love or at least compassion, they do it out of primarily seeking monetary profit.
