Some people think that zoos are all cruel and should be closed down. Others however believe that zoos can be useful in protecting wild animals. Discuss both opinions and give your own opinion.

Although

some people are of the opinion that zoos are always a great place to preserve and protect wildlife, and others believe that it is too cruel and

to confine the wild animals in a cage. In my opinion, animals lose their natural way of

and suffer more in the

outweigh the benefits of a well- provided

in a cage, and

therefore

zoos should be shut down. On the one hand, it can be argued that zoos and wildlife parks

a safe and positive environment for animals where they are nurtured and looked after by well trained staff.

In addition

, zoos can provide food, shelter and treatment to some of the endangered animals and which will save them from extinction.

For example

, a research, on Panda’s

life

, done by a group of students from the Zoology department of Western

Sydney University

In other words

, wild animals are meant to be free, live in the nature and search for their own food.

For instance

, a documentary, based on

the animal’s lifestyle

, showed that most of the animals are unable to look after themselves after being in the

for a period of time and lose their natural abilities and way of

life

. In conclusion, there might be some benefits of having zoos,

however

, they are clearly unable to provide enough independence and natural habitats to the wild animals which is painful for them and

therefore

, I believe there is no need to have zoos.
