There appear to be differing views on whether zoos are appropriate and acceptable places for wild animals. On the one hand,people argue that keeping animals in zoos is inhuman, while
on the other hand
,a group of people finds many advantages in having zoos.
It is self-evident that a zoo is not a suitable place for all wild animals. It depends very much on the sizes of the animals whether they should be kept in cages. Linking Words
Additionally
, other conditions Linking Words
such
as temperature or surroundings are Linking Words
also
important. Linking Words
For example
, a polar bear prefers low temperatures while a zebra rather enjoys hot weather. Linking Words
Moreover
, some animals like lions need a very large area to move around in. Linking Words
Therefore
, there is a need for very varied conditions Linking Words
although
it is very hard to offer that. And Linking Words
last
but not least, being exposed to a large number of people is not good for the mental health and well-being of animals.
It cannot be denied that zoos have a lot of advantages as well. Linking Words
To begin
with, a zoo is a perfect place for children to learn about wildlife and nature. Linking Words
Therefore
, zoos are important for educational purposes. Linking Words
In addition
to that, universities and researchers are usually in close cooperation with zoos in order to save endangered species. Linking Words
Furthermore
, keeping wild animals in zoos is Linking Words
also
an option to save animals that are threatened by illegal hunters or, Linking Words
for instance
, by deforestation.
Personally, I think that there is a substance in both views. Linking Words
However
, all things considered, I believe that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Linking Words
Although
I agree that there are some negative aspects Linking Words
such
as inhuman conditions, more positive aspects can be found. Linking Words
Therefore
, things like saving animals from illegal hunters and educating our children are the main arguments why we all should be in favour of having zoos.Linking Words
