What is the point sentence?

First of all, removing wild animals from their natural habitats is incredibly cruel. When kept captive, these beautiful creatures become bored and lonely, often leading to a condition called zoochosis. Animals suffering from zoochosis begin performing anxious, repetitive acts such as rocking back and forth, swaying, grooming themselves excessively and vomiting. Conditions such as this clearly demonstrate that wild animals belong in the wilderness; not in restrictive, prison-like enclosures. Animals must be freed from zoos now, so that this terrible suffering and mental torture ends for good.

Volcanic activity occurs around the Pacific Ring of Fire because many destructive plate boundaries are located here. One example is the destructive boundary between the continental South American plate and the oceanic Pacific plate which has formed the Andes Mountains. The denser oceanic plate is subducted underneath the continental plate and melts as it falls into the hot mantle. Magma then rises up through the continental plate and is erupted through volcanoes at the surface. The destructive boundaries all around the Pacific Ring of Fire are the reason for high volcanic activity.
