Some people think that zoos are cruel and all the zoos should be closed. However, other people think that zoos are useful to protect the rare animals. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

It is often argued that it is unethical to keep

animals

in captivity as wildlife is supposed to live in their natural habitats,

therefore

Linking Words

, all the

zoos

Use synonyms

ought to be shut down.

However

Linking Words

, many believe that endangered species are well protected in

zoos

Use synonyms

. In my opinion, I believe that

although

Linking Words

in some cases,

animals

Use synonyms

suffer human cruelty, overall,

zoos

Use synonyms

are beneficial to preventing the extinction of rare breeds. Obviously, there are many animal species being in danger of extinction nowadays, as their natural habitats have lost due to urbanization. For

this

reason, in order to prevent them from dying out,

zoos

are considered to be their new homes which provide a safe environment.

Additionally

Linking Words

, they offer breeding and rehabilitation programs to prepare those vulnerable

animals

before sending them back into the wild.

Therefore

Linking Words

, it seems to me that

although

Linking Words

being kept in enclosures might not be the best for them, it can prevent the extinction of endangered breeds.

However

Linking Words

, it is wildly acknowledged that many

animals

kept in

zoos

suffer cruelty at a hand of zookeepers and

also

visitors. What I mean by

this

Linking Words

is, in many places, some staff abuses those by either beating or neglecting them and

this

Linking Words

problem has been even getting worse by the thoughtless acts of the visitors.

For instance

Linking Words

, even though photographing is forbidden because of its negative impacts on some species

such

as damaging their eyes or making them stressed, many inconsiderate visitors ignore the rules and deliberately harm them without guilt. In conclusion, it is impossible to close all the

zoos

Use synonyms

just because there are incidences of abusive acts towards

animals

in some places.

Although

Linking Words

they have some negative effects, I would maintain that generally, they are the key to preserving and protecting thousands of

animals

in danger.
