More and more zoos are being built in these days and people do not understand their true value. I firmly believe that a
zoo
has a great number of benefits for children and adults. I feel
this
way for two main reasons, which I will explore in
this
essay.
First
and foremost, in the technological world, there are almost no chances to interact with real nature directly.
However
, thanks to the
zoo
, people can gain knowledge about the ecosystem and environment from it with more ease. I have to admit that my opinion on
this
matter has been profoundly influenced by my experience. When I was a little girl, there was no
zoo
in my country.
Thus
, I always watched these beautiful animals on TV.
Nevertheless
, one day I got an opportunity to travel to Singapore which had plenty of zoos. I was really looking forward to seeing it because it felt like my dream came true. During
this
trip, I saw hundreds of animals and even I fed them from my bare hands. Since that time, I truly wanted to become a zoologist and started to learn them from Biology books and newspapers which were the only things that I could see whenever I wanted. Today I majored on zoologist as my bachelor degree and I always think that if I had not seen the
zoo
, I could have not understood how much it was worthwhile.
Furthermore
, the
zoo
is the only place where can protect some animals from extinction and poaching and so on. Most of the organization usually keeps animals in their cages;
however
, in the
zoo
, they usually live in simulated habitats.
As a result
, they will feel more convenient in that area. Drawing from my own experience, Two years ago, for the
first
time I worked in the
zoo
as a part-time worker. I learned a lot of invaluable things
such
as how to properly take care of animals and even learned their behaviours. Some of them were born and died in the
zoo
, so I deeply understood how much effort the
zoo
spent on these animals’ lives. It goes without that
zoo
makes their life better because nature is becoming harsher and ruthless and even some people are becoming monster these days.
Therefore
, the only rescue for these animals is the
zoo
.
In conclusion, I am of the opinion that the
zoo
has plenty of benefits compared to other organizations and agencies.
This
is because it enhances our knowledge in
this
area and gives a chance to interact with the real nature and more importantly protects animals from inevitable disasters.
