Many people think that zoos, which keep wild animals in a man-made environment should no longer exist in the 21st century. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

In the current century, it is widely believed that zoos should be completely eradicated from society. I firmly agree with
this
view and shall portray my thoughts with some supporting points in the following paragraphs.
To begin
with, wildlife parks are distinctly different from the natural environment. Most significantly, these are confined areas in which these wild inhabitants are kept.
For example
, tigers are given

it was shown that 80% of the families misbehave with the wild creatures locked up in a cage, which has a detrimental impact on these

.
In addition
, the cross-breeding programmes conducted by the zoos have failed attempts.
Besides
,
this
poses a threat to their existence and may
also
cause their lineage to extinct. To illustrate, a renowned menagerie tried hybridizing a male lion and a female tiger to give birth to a liger.
This
experiment turned out to be a disaster in which the test specimens cost their lives and both the
animals
were dead. To conclude, I would like to reiterate my opinion that the cruel activities practised by these zoos is unacceptable and with
