Some people say that zoos should be banned for being cruel towards the animals while others say they should be continued for protecting rare animals. Discuss both your views and give your opinion.

Zoos may not perfectly replicate natural conditions suitable for animal wellbeing

Hence

On the other hand

sanctuaries for conservation. They argue that a zoo serves as a shelter for shielding animals
