There is a belief that zoos are becoming aggressive to wild animals, and
hence
ought to be locked, while the contrary view holds that zoos are helpful to preserve endangered animals. I personally believe that it is a great idea to hold and breed
such
species
which are on the verge of extinction, in the zoos.
This
essay will discuss both the perspectives.
The majority of people think that staffs and visitors in zoological parks are behaving inhumane to our natural creatures and it is unethical to captivate them.Indeed, the cages in zoos are really cramped and animals require enough space in order to enjoy stress-free environment.
This
situation is made worse because animals do not have access to move freely in zoos as they live in forests, and ultimately the cage keepers are strongly tortured them to live behind the bars. Resulting in
species
in parks become victim of atrocious conduct. Panda and polar bear,
for example
, walk vast distances on ice in their everyday life,
however
, zoos are unable to provide them similar climate as they live naturally, which constrain their natural behaviour as well as affect their mental health.
Thus
, zoos seem unfavourable for wild
species
, and demanded to be closed.
On the other hand
, the concept of closing the parks is often countered by those who understand that the natural habitat of animals are negatively affected by human interference.
Although
the government has strictly restricted the illegal hunting, poaching of animals and deforestation, people still break these restrictions in order to fulfil their needs. Owing to the continuous human practices, animals are still losing their lives as well as their homes, and are becoming extinct, while some have declared endangered. So, zoos are the best option, which are conducting different animal conservation projects to preserving
species
by offering professionally run breeding programmes. Tigers and black-bucks,
for instance
, are two commonly known rare
species
in India, which are preserved by the Government in the national parks and kept in wildlife sanctuaries for breeding, unless these animals would diminish completely. Eventually, it is crucial to open zoos to protect endangered
species
.
In conclusion, most people consider that zoos should be closed as it seems pathetic and worse place for animals. Whereas, in my opinion, zoos are the best place to save animals from
further
extinction.
Hence
, if the trend of conserving animals in zoos was adopted before
then
the rare
species
would be existing in abundance.
