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 opinion.

Nowadays our society is becoming concerned about the issue of protecting

animals

living in captivity. Owning to the problems which

this

situation causes to the environment, some people advocate that keeping

animals

in

zoos

is unacceptable as they are instantly constrained and may be treated violently while being there.

However

, others are ardent adherents of the idea that

such

organisations as

zoos

were created and incorporated into our life as a means of helping unique

species

of

animals

to survive and not go extinct. From my point of view,

animals

cannot be kept in cages by humans and

zoos

,

therefore

, should be prohibited by the law.

To begin

with,

animals

kept in

zoos

are believed to be extracted from their natural habitats, so it is a priori harmful to them. To exemplify, there are numerous researches that provide us with credible findings, according to which any kind of animal

that is

supposed to live in a wild environment suffers from living in a cage experiencing a lack of freedom and movement. To

further

elaborate, it can cause numerous diseases ( i.e. obesity) for these

animals

as the result of a lack of natural habitat.

Furthermore

, there are various kinds of

animals

that are classified as vulturous

species

or,

in other words

, predators which means that their being fed damages their inborn hunting skills ruining natural diversity.

On the other hand

, the public claims that

zoos

should be considered as a way of making it possible for endangered

species

to survive. They assume that wild creatures are treated there like human beings surrounded by good nutrition and health care so there is no point in being agitated about their living conditions.

Moreover

, it is widely accepted that some

animals

are undergoing a special therapy in

zoos

through which their fertility is rising and their continue to exist on the planet with new healthy offsprings.

Nevertheless

, I believe that the benefits of

zoos

should be viewed only as decorations behind which there is a real dirty business to find.

For instance

, it is not a secret that

animals

are being sustained due to the amount of money raised from ticket selling.

In other words

,

zoos

are aimed at increasing their own popularity just to get more money.

This

means that

animals

can be treated regardless of their bodily requirements and other important for their health conditions. A great example of

this

statement is the fact that some

zoos

let people rent their rare

species

for photosets and other kinds of people´s entertainment paying no attention that

animals

can suffer from it. To

further

elaborate, there are some

animals

,

for instance

, pandas which require strict environmental conditions for their pairing and having offspring and these can be achieved only in natural habitats. Notwithstanding, there are lots of

zoos

all over the globe keeping pandas in captivity regardless of their possible extinction there. To sum up, the issue of keeping

animals

in

zoos

is very controversial as there are numerous pros and cons supporting and undermining the significance of

such

organisations.

However

, I do believe that the captivation of

species

is inadmissible as there are endless examples of people using wild

animals

just to benefit from it

instead

of caring.
